Unfortunately due to my own stupidity I've got to do a full recapture of all my images in LR. The problem I will then face is deleting the rubbish.

My question is there any way of also deleting these images automatically from my back up drive so that I can free up some space and both the back up and main drive will be the same.

Hopefully I've explained what I want to achieve and any help much appreciated
 
If I understand what you are talking about I don't think so - which is the reason we have back up drives so that we cannot accidentally automatically delete them.

If you have to start from scratch with a totally new catelogue then import and keyword and delete the images you don't want from your main drive. Back this up at least twice, (both images and catelogue), and if you are totally, 100%, positively, completely, certain that you have it correct and don't want anything from the original back up then delete the original back up - maybe
