Replying to [comment:1 eschnett]:
Instead of purging simulations, I suggest to rename the old simulation
(after checking that it is inactive etc.) by appending such a numeric index; simulation "bbh" becomes "bbh.0000" etc. Their names should clearly identify them as backups, and one can easily purge them at a later time.
This sounds like a good solution to me. The typical scenario is that I keep iterating until finally settling on a "good" simulation. I'd like for this final iteration to have a "nice" name which I have already chosen in advance, so I think adding a --replace option is a good idea. It would also be nice to have a single command to delete all the old iterations by just giving the name of the final "good" version.
