    how to delete archive log file (rman 8.1.7.4)

    I have been using following code for level0 archive log RMAN backup on oracle 8.1.7.4. All archived log files are backing up on the disk. I would like to know the best way to delete them from the disk.

    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup
    filesperset 20
    format '/BACKUP/db1/rman/archive/db1_al_t%t_s%s_p%p'
    archivelog all
    delete input;


    I tried following rman commands but these does not delete archive logs files from the disk or changed the status. List backup is showing all pervious backup with available status.

    allocate channel for maintenance type disk;
    crosscheck backupset of database;
    delete expired backupset;
    delete expired backup of archivelog all;
    release channel;

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Puneet

    This command should delete the archived logs when they are backed up.

    Example:

    change archivelog until time 'sysdate-2' delete;

    deletes all archive logs older than 48 hours.
