    As long as they have been backed up, sure, delete them.

    to be very sure for recovery sake,
    just delete the archive log not later than the last offline backup.

    You can delete them with an OS command. For example, on unix, you can:
    find /u01/oraarch/mysid/ -mtime +1 -exec rm -f {} \;

    Hello,

    I you are not sure about backup, you can also look for free space in your machine and move some archivelog files to this new location.

    Hope this helps

    Yeah, you can delete logs after you have taken backup.

    Like in my case i take online backup of my database and archive log backup and delete the archived logs..
