DEL is the same as PIP /DE. That tries to delete the file. But as I
said, the file is already deleted. It's just directory entry that
remains, which needs to be removed.
As for where it is, that comes from knowing the system. :-)

So being clever I tried to do this by hand with a del command:
$ DEL DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP
Delete file DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;1 [Y/N/G/Q]? Y
DEL -- Failed to mark file for delete
DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;1 -- No such file
Delete file DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;2 [Y/N/G/Q]? Y
DEL -- Failed to mark file for delete
DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;2 -- File ID, sequence number check
It looks like the PIP command did work (no error at least)
$ PIP DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;/RM
$
Why did the DEL command not work?
Also, how did you know it was in 1,6? The error message was ???,???

This is because of an improper shutdown of the system. Probably you just
turned the machine off, or restarted without first shutting down.
What happens is that there is a file used by the system which is marked
for deletion when closed. The file do get deleted, because that part is
managed right. However, the directory entry for the file is then still
around. When the system starts up, it tries to open the existing file
before creating a new one, and it does succeed in finding the file in
the directory, but the actual file is not there anymore. So opening the
file fails with this error code.
.err 346
000346 (230): %I/O-E-IE.NSF, no such file
.
The solution is to delete the directory entry:
PIP DU0:[1,6]SYSSCAN.TMP;/RM
