RMAN backups

Hello,

I have a file system which is now 100% full

bas-san2:/vol/wflprd_orabackup02
462G 460G 1.7G 100% /u01/orabackup02

My question is via RMAN, how can I tell or obtain a list of the files which have expired
so I can remove the backup files from the file system without removing any files that
are required for recovery?

When I do RMAN> show all;

I see the retention policy set to 8 days but I do not see files older than 8 days in the backup directory

Can anyone shed some light on this as to what I need to do in order to resolve this issue.

Many thanks in advance

Try:

ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE DEVICE TYPE DISK;
CROSSCHECK BACKUP DEVICE TYPE DISK;
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
DELETE NOPROMPT EXPIRED BACKUP;
DELETE NOPROMPT OBSOLETE;
EXIT;
