You need to issue a change.....delete command for each backup piece. Oracle
provides a basic shell script (at least with enterprise edition) that
simplifies this. The script runs the report obsolete command and outputs
the results to the file, then it "builds" an rman script from that file
which will run the change....delete command for each backup piece it finds.
