Removing Backups

Hello,
We do our own backups i.e.
Where filename is the name of the database with a
timestamp.
EXEC sp_addumpdevice 'disk', @.FileName, @.Filename.
Backup database ParisTestProduction to @.FileName.
Is there a safe way to remove the backup history and file,
or will I need to write one.
BTW we cannot use the 'Database Maintenance Plan'
thanks for your help
Peter
to remove backup history try sp_delete_backuphistory
to delete your old backup probably you must write script
