Works fine for me:

Switch#dir vlan.dat
Directory of flash:/vlan.dat

    2 -rwx 616 Mar 01 1993 01:01:28 vlan.dat

15998976 bytes total (7407616 bytes free)
Switch#del vlan.dat
Delete filename [vlan.dat]?
Delete flash:vlan.dat? [confirm]y
Switch#dir vlan.dat
%Error opening flash:/vlan.dat (No such file or directory)
Switch#
