Delete obsolete & Delete expired backup & Delete archivelog

[Oracle Database 12c Standard Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production, RAC]

Hi,

We're running a TEST Oracle instance with no archive mode enabled - the database used to be archived but only temporarily and only for test purposes (in order to properly configure the backup of the production database).

The backup had been disabled but the database was still running in archive mode for quite some time resulting in archivelogs occupying our TEST FRA. We'd like to safely get rid of them to make more space for the new backup policy that will - from now on - include the TEST database.
