Lots of "Cleanup Failed" for Time Machine files - just delete those backups?

My work email account was hijacked by spammers, which was my first clue that something was wrong.  At my website host's recommendation, I installed and ran Sophos anti-virus.  I came up with 24 threats detected and clicked to clean them up.  All came back with "Cleanup Failed" messages, and all were from my Time Machine backup.  I watched the video on how to removed threats from Time Machine, but I can't find these threat files when I do searches in Time Machine.  Can I just delete a bunch of backups going quite a ways back, and will doing so remove the threats? Thanks in advance for any help.
