How do I delete metafiles?

Thread needs solution

I made the mistake of deleting old backups by just deleting them from File Explorer and only found when it was too late that I should have done this using True Image tools. Now every backup flags up backup versions that cannot be found. Is there any way to delete the old backups, versions, archives - whatever they are?
