Delete z/OS UNIX zFS Filesystem
You can use the delete z/OS UNIX zFS Filesystem operation to delete an existing zFS filesystem. Access Method Services are used to delete the filesystem linear data set. The file system must not be allocated (attached or mounted) for this operation to succeed.

DELETE /zosmf/restfiles/mfs/zfs/<file-system-name>where:
- /zosmf/restfiles specifies the z/OS® data set and file REST interface
- /mfs/zfs a Unix System Services filesystem request for a zFS aggregate. <file-system-name> is the filesystem (for zFS, the aggregate name) of the file system to be created. This is also the VSAM linear data set name.
