Oh, a trick question?  Nonexistent things cannot be deleted.  ;-)
The deletion of obsolete filespaces certainly results in the removal of
all their files from the TSM database, where the number of files is the
most consumptive factor in the database.  Use Query Occupancy to see how
many files are involved.  If many, you can look forward to nice relief in
your database, and shorter database backups.  (Never delete more than one
filespace or volume at a time, as the db updating requires locking, and
conflicts can arise.)
