how to handle the rman output files, which are older than retention days

User8710670-OracleDec 8 2014 — edited Dec 13 2014

I'm using rman for my backup tasks.

I format my rman output files to a specific path, instead of fast recovery area.

Also, I execute below command at RMAN

RMAN> CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 7 DAYS;

And the parameter "control_file_record_keep_time" is also set to 7.

I have been running rman for 8 days. Everything looks good. But I find many rman output files are older than 7 days.

So I just want to know how to handles the rman output files, which is older than 7 days?

Actually, I supposed these older files should be obsolete files, but rman didn't report they are obsolete.

So how to do now?
