Two steps (where second step splits to multiple steps):
1) remove it from mdb (eg. nsrmm -dy -S
2) remove it from media target
Now, if you media target is disk, nsrim -X -c (before client is removed) will do its jobs and delete it for good. If your media is tape (virtual or physical) then you must reinitiate tape; which is like labeling it again. If you really wish to do that, you must move (nsrstage) valid data from tape and then label it. If you are paranoid and man who follows rules at any cost, you will not label tapes, but rather destroy them physically and data can be still read after tape has been labeled (I can't imagine why would anyone do that unless for that solely purpose so unless you work for army or some government agency which is targeted by paparazzi or terrorists then you may go down that path....)
