How to delete one computer's time machine backup from a multi-machine dataset

I have been using FreeNAS as a Time Machine to back up two computers onto one AFP share. Having just replaced one of those computers, I used that old machine's backup to restore its data to my new computer. I then backed up my new computer onto that AFP share. Now I have two redundant backups on my FreeNAS server along with the backup of my other computer. So now I am getting the warning that I am over the 80% disk storage allowance. Unfortunately, I no longer have the old computer so I can't use its Time Machine program to delete that old computer's backup.

Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

I am using FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6.

Then you probably shouldn't be posting in the TrueNAS forum, since you aren't using TrueNAS.

Find the directory in that dataset that belongs to the computer you aren't using any more and delete it.
