Probably the simplest technique is to just "DEL FIlespace <file-space-name>" from a TSM admin. session... but this does inspire the question --> "Do you really want to have a period where no data can be restored, while awaiting the 7th daily cycle?"
Another technique we've used is to change the copygroup (for this file system's destination management class) to "absolute" every 7th day... this tends to be more useful when the entire population or node needs a fresh "Full" backup.
