Retire only sets a flag on the retired item in den database. This is
done to remove something from the search but leave links from other
items in the database intact.

If you want to completely nuke the current database you can do

roundup-admin initialise

This will ask you for a new admin password and completely initialize the
tracker deleting everything in the database.

If you just want to remove something completely from the database you
can do so with a script that contains something like:

db.<class>.destroy (id)

will completely destroy the given thing (be it an issue or an email).
Using this is generally not recommended as it leaves dangling links
behind. That's why there is no command-line equivalent.
