Well, sure.  You've never told make which rule is creating a .tab.h
file, or even that you're ever creating one at all!  How can it know
when it should delete a file it knows nothing about?

You need to tell make that the invocation of bison builds both those
files, like this:

   %.tab.c %.tab.h: %.y
           $(BS) $(BSFLAGS) $^

Ok. So i fix it to
.INTERMEDIATE: %.tab.h
%.tab.c %.tab.h : %.y
$(BS) $(BSFLAGS) $^

It is still deletes only C file.
