Empty directories after DELETE OBSOLETE under flash_recovery_area

ennisbMar 13 2006 — edited Mar 16 2006
I have has RMAN running on 10.2 for about a week now. I have a very simple backup in place with a redundancy policy of 1. I also have a cleanup job that runs once per day. RMAN is cycling out the files as expected. However, it is leaving empty directories for old controlfile and archivelog backups. Am I supposed to clean these myself or am I doing something wrong?


Here is an ls at the top of my flash_recovery_area:
lescxa0b@DWPRD> ls -l
total 48
drwxr-x--- 9 oracle dba 8192 Mar 13 00:25 archivelog/
drwxr-x--- 9 oracle dba 8192 Mar 13 00:25 autobackup/
drwxr-x--- 2 oracle dba 96 Mar 12 00:26 backupset/
drwxr-x--- 2 oracle dba 8192 Mar 13 03:01 datafile/

And one level down:
lescxa0b@DWPRD> ls -l *
