The Delete option in CCRC (highlighted in the screenshot below) performs the cleartool rmname operation under the covers which removes the reference to the selected file in the specific directory version which is subsequently created. The element and all it's history still exists in the VOB and can be referenced by viewing previous versions of the parent directory.
Solution
If your objective is to permanently remove the entire element and all of its history from the VOB, the cleartool rmelem command can be run from a full ClearCase client.
IMPORTANT: The rmelem command destroys information irretrievably. Use it carefully to avoid compromising your organization's ability to support old releases.
