You can delete a recovery point for a protection group only by using DPM Management Shell.
Important
In data co-location, as multiple data sources can have their replicas residing on the same replica volume, deleting a recovery point of one data source may delete the recovery point of other data sources. For more information, see Co-Locating Data on Disk.
