How to Clean-Up Entries in V$LOG_HISTORY and/or V$ARCHIVED_LOG:
==============================================================

The number of archived redo log files maintained in the controlfile and
available through V$LOG_HISTORY is determined by the MAXLOGHISTORY parameter of
the create database command. The archived redo log records are maintained up to
the value of MAXLOGHISTORY, then wraps and overwrites any previous entries starting
from the beginning.

===================================================

That explains it . thought might be usefull for somebody...
