you are right, medium_delete is only for deleting unused media definitions. There were already many questions also mentioned to me and I forwarded this wishes to the development but so far there is no solution for steady growing backup histories. Especially database users which do hourly log backups get huge histories in a very short time! Some couldn't wait for an official tool and started to delete manually entries in the history files but this is a little bit more complex than to delete lines in one file. Instead, as far as I know, up to three files has to be manipulated in a consistent way so that you don't loose the very important backup history. So, please be careful. But maybe this list can help to get a simple functionality here :-) ...
