How do I delete Network Server Storage (NWSSTG) from on IBM i system?
Answer
The best and easiest way to delete Network Server Storage (NWSSTG) is either via:
A) WRKNWSSTG, option 4 (which does a DLTNWSSTG)
or
B) Navigator (using either the Windows-based or web-based version of Navigator) per:
Deleting virtual storage:

Either of the above will do the necessary commands to delete all associated objects.
If you try to do it using RMVDIR '/QFPNWSSTG/<nwsstg>', you first need to 1) UNMOUNT and 2) delete the corresponding UDFS file that was added to the object structure in IBM i OS r7.2:
1) UNMOUNT TYPE(*UDFS) MNTOVRDIR('/QFPNWSSTG/<nwsstg>/MOUNT')
2) RMVLNK OBJLNK('/dev/QASP0x/<nwsstg>.UDFS') [where x is the ASP number]
