I have read that once you backup a database, you can delete the archive logs from the disk. How do you cooridinate this with Oracle. Here is an example of what we have done. We have moved from a 3 disk configuration to a 6 disk configuration. When we did this, we moved our archive log destination to another disk. We also moved all existing arhived logs. When I tried to do a backup, Oracle was still looking for the files to exist in their original location. Shouldn't I be able to just get rid of the older archives? How do I tell Oracle that they have moved or that they no longer exist on disk? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
