Narrative:

I was on a part 135 flight to sdl. I filed ...... Drk.JCOBS2. I was given a clearance by clearance delivery. On departure fly heading direct igm direct drk and then as filed. I departed and when I was handed over to abq center I was given direct drk as I approached drk I asked for direct swirl which is a published fix on the JCOBS2 arrival. The controller at abq informed me that JCOBS2 is not authorized and I should be on the DSERT1 arrival and asked me who gave me JCOBS2. I read back my clearance and informed him I filed JCOBS2 and had not seen the fdc NOTAM when I did my preflight prep. He indicated I was not the first to have this problem and I heard several others after my check in with the same problem. The controller informed me the procedure was deleted however it is still published and in the nav databases. After verifying my clearance with abq I edited my loaded flight plan reviewed the DSERT1 arrival and completed the flight uneventfully to sdl.
