You do not mention whether the volume/dataset are SMS managed (or not).
DELETE FILE in idcams only uses the DD statement for volume/vvds access. It is
essentially trying to do a "normal delete" (including the catalog update).
IEFBR14 does not care if the dataset is cataloged or not. It merely locates the
dataset via the provided parameters and performs the
Actions indicated in the DISP parameter.
The correct control cards to perform the actions actually accomplished via
IEFBR14 would be:
DELETE dsname FILE(DD01) NVR

I have some temporary files not deleted. Seen with 3.4 with volume given. When
i tried to delete them , i had an error message (entry not found)
Listcat gave this :
LISTCAT ENTRIES(SYS12048.T104505.RA000.IBMUSER.R0100008)
IDC3012I ENTRY SYS12048.T104505.RA000.IBMUSER.R0100008 NOT FOUND
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42
IDC1566I ** SYS12048.T104505.RA000.IBMUSER.R0100008 NOT LISTED
Tried with IDCAMS DELETE :
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//DD01 DD DSN=SYS12048.T104505.RA000.IBMUSER.R0100008,
// DISP=OLD,VOL=SER=WORK01,UNIT=3390
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *,DCB=BLKSIZE=9040
DELETE FILE(DD01) NONVSAM PURGE
IKJ56228I DATA SET FILE NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED
IDC0548I ** MEMBER DD01 NOT DELETED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8
IDC0002I IDCAMS PROCESSING COMPLETE. MAXIMUM CONDITION CODE WAS 8

Now , a colleague asked me to delete with IEBFR14 :
//DELETE EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//Duc DD DSN=SYS12048.T104505.RA000.IBMUSER.R0100008,
// DISP=(OLD,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(0,0)),VOL=SER=WORK01,UNIT=3390
