Isn't the answer Use system commands (such as SETXCF) so that the system is no longer using that data set. After that, you can do whatever you want. The system should no longer have the data set allocated.
When I saw the subject, I thought that this was going to be about a LNKLST data set which also is allocated within XCFAS (and LLA). And for that data set too, the answer is the same, although the commands to have the system stop using it differ.
