Bear in mind that DPA will be replaced by the GDPR next May.
This will provide significant extra rights for data subjects and will allow you to force removal of data that is not essential for the business (they need a legal basis to hold the data - think along the lines of Stevie's post above about financial data).
From then, you simply have to withdraw consent for your data to be stored/used and they MUST delete it.
More information - but not yet the full picture - at the ICO website.0
