That's a great question, and I don't have a definitive answer for you. It seems to me that your instincts are correct. If the backup is no longer being used by any Mac, then you should be able to delete it. My only fear is that Time Machine is still keeping track of that backup somehow -- but I find that unlikely.
If you decide to try it, leave a comment here to let me know if it worked.
Finally an answer (O: in finder you select time machine and login with your password. You well see 3 backup, one for each machine.
You select the backup you choose to delete, and press " CMD + BS "
You can not drag the backup to the trash.
