They are internal mail objects that depend on the receiver of the
distribution to determine how and where they are stored on the 400.  (in
user indexes or on the IFS.)

You can delete them by writing a program.  You do the QRYDST to an output
file.  Then read the output file for the distribution id and delete using
the DLTDST command.  The program can be written entirely in CL, so it is
fairly straight-forward.
