Problems deleting obsolete backup sets

edited Feb 6, 2009 9:03AM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered
I scheduled a backup with the option to delete obsolete backup sets.  When the job ran I received an error.  See Below

If you will note the location of the backup set C:\Oracle\Backups.....  This location is incorrect.  It should be \Oracle\Backups.....

My db_recovery_file_dest  is set to \Oracle\Backups.......   

Oracle has to be looking up the location C:\Oracle\Backups.....  from somewhere.  I need help finding it.
