Hi!

How can I get rid of obsolete backup sets in the recovery catalog? I already deleted the corresponding operating system files.

Now I want to delete them from the recovery catalog so that I don't get listing of ancient backup sets when reporting on obsoletes.

RMAN> report obsolete;
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report

Report of obsolete backups and copies
