RMAN Delete Command
The RMAN DELETE command deletes backups from disk and/or from the catalog
To delete all backups for the target database use:
RMAN> DELETE BACKUP;
Delete Backupset
To delete a backup set specify the set number e.g. 23:

NOPROMPT keyword
By default the DELETE command will prompt for confirmation before deleting any backup files

To suppress the prompt specify the NOPROMPT keyword. For example:
