Delete archive logs using RMAN.

You can delete the archive logs using RMAN with or with out Recovery Catalog.
Use the below command to delete archive logs from ASM Disk Group or other file systems.

Method 1: Delete archive logs using RMAN with Recovery Catalog

RMAN> connect catalog userid/password@connection_string
RMAN> connect target
RMAN> delete force archivelog like '’;
For ex: -
RMAN> delete force archivelog like '+FLASH/testdb/archivelog/2009_08_11/thread_1_seq_366.663.1;

To delete multiple files just place them after the LIKE clause and use wildcard for file names.
RMAN> delete force archivelog like '+FLASH/asm/archivelog/2009_08_11/thread_1_*;

Method 2: Delete archive logs using RMAN with out Recovery Catalog.

RMAN> connect target
RMAN> delete force archivelog like '+FLASH/asm/archivelog/2009_08_11/thread_1_seq_366.663.1;

RMAN will update the controlfile/recovery catalog that the files have been removed.
