RE: getting rid of copies of archivelogs

Not having my handy manual, I think you might need to specify something like
"not backed up 1 times" to get the logs to delete. Or you could just have
"archivelog all" without the not backed up clause and they'd delete. I back
up "not backed up 1 times" every 15 minutes and delete when the filesystem is 50% full.

Subject: getting rid of copies of archivelogs  

I have set up a database in archivelog mode with

backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET archivelog all not backed up delete all input format '/d123/backup/arch_%d_%u_%s';

among my rman script commands.  

Now /d123/ is filling up. I have tried all sorts of rman> delete obsolete etc without result. Finally, I wonder, are these copied logs no longer part of rman? Is it sufficient to just delete them from the file system? Or is there an RMAN command that I haven't tried.  

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
