I tested this and I can't recreate the problem. I added two documents, a word doc and an excel file. Saved the lot. Then I went in and deleted one. Saved it. Came back in lot and only the other file was shown as an attachment. I then deleted that one too and saved the lot. When I came back in I had no attachments for the lot.
Since you have created two discussion questions on the same issue, One for inspection lots and one for quality notifications, I suspect that this has something to do with the services for object and you'll probably see this in other objects as well. I'd test this in the MM02 transaction (change material) as next. And possibly test it in the ME22N (Change purchase order), too. This should pretty much prove it's not a QM related issue.
The next two things I would ask my team to look at would be.
1) Security - run an SU53 right after you delete the attachment. Sometimes that can show you an authorization issue even though you don't get a message on the screen. Ask your security person to see if your account has any restrictions with regard to deleting these types of objects.
2) Next have the BASIS team look into configuration of the services for objects functionality. It could be something basic in config. It might also be related to the server where these files are stored. It might be very possible that the disk or area this is being written to is not a RW device. Could it be possible they mounted a write only archive disk for this which prevents it from being deleted?
Bottom line: I'm 98% sure it has nothing to do with QM.
Please let us know what you find. Even though it's not QM, this functionality is often used in QM and I personally would like to understand what your root cause turns out to be.
