Advice on deleting old Control File backups

I tried to search for this first, but I kept getting an error page, so if this has already been answered here, I apologize.
I'm using Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4  I am using RMAN to set up backup configuration and I schedule the backups through Enterprise Manager.  In EM I can set up the rules to delete backed up archive logs and obsolete backup sets.  I just recently added the "controlfile autobackup on" feature, and I'm seeing that the new C-xxxxxxxx files for the control file are not being deleted after the full backup (I'm in archivelog mode too).

Can I delete the older C-xxxxxxxxx files manually?  Is the there an option to delete the older control file backups automatically?  I'm not finding advice on this in the RMAN Backup and Recovery manual.

Howdy, Stranger!
