You can configure retention policy command to create a persistent and automatic backup retention policy.When a backup retention policy is in effect, RMAN considers backups of datafiles and control files as obsolete, that is, no longer needed for recovery, according to criteria that you specify in the CONFIGURE command. You can then use the REPORT OBSOLETE command to view obsolete files and DELETE OBSOLETE to delete them.
