Unless you're in dire need to manually remove them (regain disk space maybe?), if you have the Deleted Items setting enabled in your Jobs, you can just let Veeam worry about retention and deleting them. You can read more about this setting from the link below:

You can also check under the Backup section - Disk for the backup they are for to see the properties and if they are used.
