Greets -
  I think I read the default configuration is Mixed Mode unified auditing. For pure unified auditing, you have to relink oracle with uniaud_on. Have you relinked yet ? Maybe that's your issue....   FWIW unified audit trail is a view, and you can only remove records using the supplied packages. As far as unified audit goes, I am stumped, trying to figure out a system that has 130,000+ records in the view, but event_timestamp is null, so the package doesn't purge those rows...
