Do a simple test. Create a VOC F-pointer pointing at a dict in a different account. Try to delete it and see what happens.
Certainly, if I were the person who wrote DELETE.FILE, I would seriously consider making a pathname trigger a "sorry illegal operation" error. I just wish that the person who wrote DELETE.FILE for UV hadn't made that sort of thing a fatal error that stopped it deleting the VOC pointer!
