OS/390 R10 gave the ability to rename ENQed data sets from ISPF with the proper RACF authority. Then you can delete them. (copied from a prior post of mine): You need at least read authority to the RACF facility class named STGADMIN.DPDSRN.olddsname, where olddsname is up to 23 characters of the existing data set name. The doc is hard to find on this - it is in the DFSMSdfp Advanced Services manual in the chapter on Managing the Volume Table Of Contents (it is not documented in the ISPF manuals at all). Specifically, the information can be found in chapter 2.6 - Renaming a Data Set in the VTOC under the General Considerations and Restrictions section.
