OpenVMS Suspended Process Has Tape Unit Mounted

One of our tape units had a hardware problem whilst being used by a batch job. The tape unit has been replaced but the batch job still had it mounted and allocated. I have deleted the batch job (by resetting the queue) but the process still has the unit mounted.
I have tried deleting the process but it is still left in a suspended state. Is there any way that I can delete the process and freeup the tape drive without rebooting the Alpha.
