The script to clear the expired recovery points is the "pruneshadowcopies.ps1" that is present in the DPM\bin directory. You can run it manually, and it will clear recovery points. If you have a lot of expired recovery points, it will take running it multiple times to get it caught up. Let me know if this doesn't make sense or if I can be of any further help. I sent this by e-mail as well:
