If failed job is the only one going to particular tape, then entire backup will be discarded and overwritten by next backup. If failed job is part of multiplexed backup where other jobs were successful, the space used by failed job cannot be reclaimed or overwritten. Only when all backups on tape have expired can tape be overwritten from scratch.

If a job files to complete, all the files/content written are discarded. So you dont need to worry about deleting content to free the space.
