RENAMEU will let you change the HLQ but will not let you change the number of

However, if you have a small number of HLQs to deal with, you could restore to

To recap:
PROTECTALL is off.
No RACF profile protects the DSN in question.
The MCAT is protected by a profile.
An admin creates the non-SMS dataset TEST which gets catalogued in the MCAT.
A non-admin deletes the dataset which results in an orphan catalog entry.
You are surprised.
