Hi,
Well i don't know why u want to shift from archivelog to noarchivelog, but it is true that any time you can shift from archivelog to noarchivelog or vice-versa. To do this follow the following steps :
First take a full backup for safety.
Shutdown the DB cleanly.
Mount the DB.
Issue ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;
Open the DB.
Againg shutdown the DB cleanly.
Take a cold backup;
Open the DB.
Now ur DB is running in noarchivelog and u can delete that archivelogs also.
Best of Luck
