3. Both.
- edit /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>/backups
(remove the entries of the backups you want deleted)
- delete the corresponding directories:
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/<client>/<backup nr>/
Your directories might be slightly different, but this is how it works
on my Debian based systems.
BackupPC_nightly does the rest.
