To delete Oracle archive logs, you can follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, make sure the database is in archive mode. You can confirm this by running the following query.<\/li>\n
  2. Retrieve the log mode from the V$DATABASE view.<\/li>\n
  3. To determine the earliest timestamp of archived logs to keep in the database, you can find it by running the following query.<\/li>\n
  4. Retrieve the NAME and FIRST_TIME columns from the V$ARCHIVED_LOG table and sort the results by the FIRST_TIME column.<\/li>\n
  5. Connect to the RMAN tool to perform the deletion using the Recovery Manager tool.<\/li>\n
  6. Connect to the RMAN repository using the specified target.<\/li>\n
  7. Run the following command to delete archived logs:<\/li>\n
  8. Delete all archived log files that were completed before ‘time point’.<\/li>\n
  9. In which, the ‘timestamp’ is the earliest point in time confirmed in step 2 as the archived logs that need to be retained.<\/li>\n
  10. Waiting for RMAN to complete the deletion of archived logs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Before deleting archive logs, ensure that a backup of the archive logs has been completed to prevent data loss. Deleting archive logs may impact the database’s recovery capability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
