manual delete of archivelogs from FRA

Iam having oracle 11g 11.2.0.3 database for Test environment,

My question is can i delete archivelogs manually from FRA without using RMAN.

Since this is TEST environment, iam not worried about data loss. I want to keep the Database in archivelog for future purpose.

thanks,

Only if you are using regular file system (not ASM).
:p

You can also just take it out of archive log mode until you are ready to start backing it up.
