Hm..

Just a wild guess: try archive log stop first and then try to clear them?

Other way would be to shut down your database, then recover until cancel (it doesn't actually do anything, but allows resetlogs) then alter database open resetlogs.

Also, verify with OS commands that you actually can read this logfile from disk.
