Easy way to delete archive logs without backing them up

jimd1673Dec 16 2016 — edited Dec 16 2016

I need to put one of our development databases into Archive Log mode so we can use it as the source for an RMAN duplicate job.  I have no intention of backing up this database and I have no use for the archive logs beyond what is required to clone a database.  It's my understanding that in order for RMAN to run a duplicate command from a live database, the source db needs to be in archive log mode. 

Is there an easy way to remove archive logs after they are x number of hours old, or something similar to that?
