Using the DELETE command in EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 apparently only deletes a Partitioned DataSets (PDS) main member and leaves the ALIAS name still intact and present. How do I delete the ALIAS?.

Issue/Introduction

Using the DELETE command in EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 apparently only deletes a Partitioned Data Sets (PDS) main member and leaves the ALIAS name still intact and present. 

1. Is there another command parameter for DELETE which will include the ALIAS members for deletion? 
2. Or do I have to code also a separate DELETE command for the ALIAS member name?
