ORA-38760: This database instance failed to turn on flashback database

epipkoJun 13 2022

Oracle 19.3 on Win2019
I was testing restore point functionality today. Everything went well, but flashback took a lot of space. I deleted flashback logs :-( and now I am having issues starting up database (Test). What are my options at this point?

SYS@MIMAS >select * from dual;

SYS@MIMAS >select name,open_mode from v$database;

SYS@MIMAS >alter database flashback off;
Database altered.

SYS@MIMAS >alter database open;
