There are two commands for removing files.
PURGE & DELETE

Purge will remove multiple versions of a file and save the latest version.

PURGE/KEEP=n file ( will save n copies of the requested file )

In your case, a PURGE would be the first command to use.

PURGE $1$DGA7:[000000...]*.*/KEEP=3

If this command doesn't help you, you need to investigate the disk file by file to determin what files to delele......

$ HELP PURGE
$ HELP DELETE
