Since you have V8.3 and ODS5 you can do the following;

$ DELETE/CONFIRM/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[0000000...]~[708146,53,0]
$ DELETE/CONFIRM/LOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[0000000...]~[156375,23,0]

If the files are not on SYS$SYSDEVICE then substitute your disk name, the
"~" character is needed and you do not need any "*" characters in the
command. The confirm message will show you the device, directory, filename
followed by the FID in square brackets then the extension and version
number.
