Does the volume show up in the volume history file?

q volh type=dbb  (if it is part of a backup series)

or

q volh type=dbs (if it is a database snapshot)

if it is, and it is an old series, or an old dbs, you can delete the volume
using the del volh command (I refer you to the help del volh for further
detail).
