Sure.  The GNV files should have been owned by [SYSTEM] so you'd need privs to delete files in /bin and /usr/bin.  [Just like any Unix system].  The fact that there was a mount-point back to SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE] with files also owned by [SYSTEM] still tells me that you would need privs to delete any of those files.
