Your dsenv file should have the path of shared library set to $APT_ORCHHOME/lib and also you must have APT_CONFIG_FILE set (Pointing to the same configuration file you used to create the Data Set). Then run the orchadmin command

cd $APT_ORCHHOME/bin
orchadmin rm $Path/FileName.ds

The configuration file name used to create dataset should be set to APT_CONFIG_FILE while deleting the dataset with orchadmin command.

Raghavendra - Even though you can do that, you don't need to. The descriptor file contains a copy of the configuration file used to create that dataset, and it can be used to locate the appropriate directories for the part files.

The parent directory of the orchadmin command must be findable in your command search path (PATH environment variable) or have its complete pathname specified - for example $APT_ORCHHOME/bin/orchadmin

Others have posted about the need to have the APT_CONFIG_FILE environment variable set correctly.
