We've gotten rid of the database BUT we have a rman backup using 10 yr retention

user11325444Jul 5 2016 — edited Jul 6 2016

Is there a way to get rid of the old "other" backups in the rman repository?  We were negligent in the clean up and don't want to unregister the database.  Is there a comment to delete the old other backups since majority of command I get this from rman:

RMAN> delete backupset 196243013;

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03002: failure of delete command at 07/05/2016 15:03:16

RMAN-06171: not connected to target database

Even after setting the DBID.

thanks, joe
