Then you have messy problems. What is your TSO PREFIX setting?

Did you do a LISTC before deletion?

Then, did you do a LISTC on that? The catalog itself, the entry itself and the
related catalog.

You have a problem with your catalog search order. Check from Master Catalog
all the way down to that user catalog for pointers. You can try =3.4 using XX,
then XX.XXXX, and so on. if you can see something, press PF10-PF11 until you
see the catalog.
I think you have duplicate entries or your master catalog is not pointing to
the right user catalog.

If it is a duplicate, then use ISMF and using the name and the catalog names to
search where is that entry is actually.
Or it is somewhere on a volume. If it is in a SMS volser, but not cataloged,
then you need other remedies for that.
I think you should post the results of your searches so the right approach can
be recommended to fix it. Of course, make a backup of your catalogs first.
