1. This one has hard links not sure what do do here maybe the -H option as i do
not thing i need the metadatstore either
$/var/lib/backuppc/BackupPC_deleteFile.pl -h t420s-1.solar.lan -r -n - -d 4

2. This one will not detect or be removed, the $RECYCLE.BIN folder which i know
exists by listing it here
ls -l /var/lib/backuppc/pc/t420s-1.solar.lan/16/f%2fcygdrive%2fc/
