Try SET FILE/NODIRECTORY to remove the directory attribute on the
..DIR file.  You can then delete it.  HELP SET FILE/NODIR I believe
has a procedure for doing exactly what you need to do.

Good luck!

ps.  Since the pagefile was "opened" before the XQP really existed at
     boot time, the filesystem doesn't really know about the pagefile
     as well as it should.  You can delete an active pagefile, which
     will release the blocks and the XQP will allocate those blocks to
     newloy extended/created files.  Unfortunately, VMS is still paging
     to those files.  Ooops.   One thing you can do to minimize this is
     to boot off a very small pagefile and then use a secondary pagefile
     for real paging.  When SYSGEN activates a secondary pagefile, it uses
     the filesystem to do so and the file is then "known" to the XQP as
     any other file would be.
