Deleting an unarchived unmirrored online redo log may result in unrecoverable data ( or complete database )loss. It depends on what the specific circumstances are.

If you have a COLD backup you can recover. If you have no cold backup you are in trouble. If the online redo log was the "current" one you are in trouble. Received on Tue Jul 16 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
