TM does not want the user to manually delete backup files from the drive. When the drive gets full TM will auto delete the oldest file. If you want to clean up the drive then you need to erase and start over. If you start manually impacting the TM drive it may get corrupted. TM will make snap shots on your internal drive that can be deleted from the Utilities, Disk Utilities app.
