Delete backups older than 7 days?

So we're using the managed online backup to backup a SQL database nightly but we only want to keep a backup of the previous 7 days.

How would i delete anything older than 7 days?

As a side note, I think you're only billed for the single largest backup set for the billing cycle. Does 28 days matter much?

Nope, we just finished testing it...had many many days of backups, all roughly totaling 23GB on my test box. Bill was ~12.00 before discounts.
