commit afer unable to extend rollback segment

If I do "DELETE FROM my_table", and it eventually comes back with an error saying "unable to extend rollback segment", is it OK to do a COMMIT? Will the COMMIT purge any of the records that made it into the rollback segment before it filled up? Or am I asking for trouble if I do this?

I would prefere to do this rather than extend the rollback segment because it is a one-time thing.

Thanks,
