I am not sure I understand. I may want to restore from a Level 0 backup that was taken 3 days ago. When I did a CROSSCHECK BACKUP it showed it as AVAILABLE.  

In the log however I found where there is also a datafile copy (actually controlfile backup) that is several months old that is showing up as mismatched which therefore couldn't be deleted from disk channel. I am trying to figure out if old copy will interfere or prevent me from restoring from the backup that was taken 3 days ago? Or when it says something like that is mismatched does it basically mean it is like a ghost copy in catalog that just needs to be cleaned up but won't interfere with restore of current copy.

Will receiving the following error affect a restore from a backup taken 3 days ago if the Datafile Copy that the warning is referring to is actually very old.

RMAN-06207: WARNING: 1 objects could not be deleted for DISK channel(s) due

The backup script itself runs a Level 0 backup using target database control file instead of recovery catalog. The recovery manager backup from 3 days ago completed. The script then connects to the catalog and does the following: crosscheck backup;
crosscheck archivelog all;
delete noprompt expired backup of database; delete noprompt obsolete;

Ran a CROSSCHECK BACKUP command and the backup from 3 days ago is showing up as AVAILABLE.

Was just wondering what the affect of the warning for the old controlfile might have on a restore.
