Yes, but the file will exist on tape due to Retain Extra Versions and Retain Only Version.
But you can always create a Delete mgmtclass with appropiate settings and bind the file to that mgmtclass, exclude the file and run expire inventory. But that seems harder than Delete backup command.

TSM did a backup of a not necessary large logfile of 40 GB and because of the 'Version Data Exists'-policy parameter of 7 it takes a lot of space on the tapes. I work with TSM-server V5R2L2.0.
