Check to make sure your default shell is bash, and not something else:
echo $SHELL
Also, run this command to re-configure the backspace to delete characters:
xmodmap -e "keysym Delete = BackSpace osfBackSpace"
I assume you're talking about the xterm itself, and not from within vi or
any other editor. Take the abive lines with a grain of salt, since your
message did not contain a lot of information to really know the source of
the problem.
