So I'll read that as you are selecting my first option. You don't have to do much- once you delete a data selection or an agent, all backups for that object become unrecoverable. Since the data is de-duped across agents/data selections, you don't want to delete the data wholesale- the internal maintenance processes (you have those scheduled per the Best Practices of course) will remove any orphaned blocks as needed thus freeing up appropriate disk space.
If what you meant was my 2nd option- then just change the retention period in the data removal policy.
