VSAM Delete Question

Have a VSAM Cluster that was allocated incorrectly on our TEST System to a non existent VOLUME during a reorg attempt. First attempt at deletion removed (C) (D) and (I), now this is what is left.

NONVSAM ------- HHVO1.HX.HX.T100.HXNRAM.V
IN-CAT --- ICF.BHATST.USER
HISTORY
DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL) CREATION--------2013.229
RELEASE----------------2 EXPIRATION------0000.000
VOLUMES
VOLSER------------####VK DEVTYPE------X'3010200F' FSEQN----------
VOLSER------------$HPS06 DEVTYPE------X'3010200F' FSEQN----------
ASSOCIATIONS--------(NULL)
ATTRIBUTES


Now I can't get rid of this entry, each attempt to DELETE tries to mount that non-existing Volume.

DIAGNOSE on the User Catalog shows this

HHVO1.HX.HX.T100.HXNRAM.V (A)

I'm certainly not a VSAM expert, so my apologies, .........any thoughts?
