There is a way to delete a build and it is using REST protocol: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TW/REST+API+Plugin

Get details of a specific build:
GET http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/builds/
(also supports DELETE to delete a build)

To run this you need a REST client. I've used a plugin for Firefox, which is quite nice. But any REST client should do the work. It makes sense first trying on the test TeamCity instance, as you won't have a chance to recover deleted build, except from backup.

Update

New version of TeamCity (since 8?) supports deleting builds naturally. Hey-hey!! ))

Just go to the build page, then Actions > Remove ...
