I'm using the DELETE ALL INPUT option for my backups with Data Guard and it works fine, but I'm running on 10.2.0.4. I think there were some problems in earlier versions where it could cause logs to be deleted before they had been shipped to the standby - not sure exactly what version that was fixed. On my database, if RMAN detects a log is still needed on the standby when the delete command runs, I get this message in the RMAN log:

RMAN-08137: WARNING: archive log not deleted as it is still needed

Brandon

backup database plus archivelog delete input;

This will delete the archivelogs that were backed up. If you're running DataGuard then this, in my experience, won't work and you have to use commands like T.J. provided.
