Archive logs deletion using VI or VIM editor

Question

Dear professional,
Recently I moved from one organization to another. In my team all are deleting archive log files using VI editor, They are copying archivelog file names in new vi file and deleting simply.. Can anyone suggest me how to do that (with Deletion command)?
Thanks
Sagar

Thank you for your response..
This is the way we are deleting archivelog files after backups done to make free space in disk.
[root@apps /]# mkdir test
[root@apps /]# cd test
[root@apps test]# vim test1.log
[root@apps test]# vim test2.log
[root@apps test]# vim test3.log
[root@apps test]# vim test4.log
[root@apps test]# vim test5.log
[root@apps test]#
[root@apps test]# ls -lrt
