(apologies in advance if this is a duplicate answer)

Phil, try purging the *LAST* file in the group ...
repeating that should allow you to get rid of the files.

When you purge the first file, that (I think) triggers a
very large transaction (which could be causing the system failure).
Purging a file near the end of the group triggers a small
transaction.
