Hi,
You can also backup/delete a few archivelog files with RMAN. Log on the the database server with some user in the dba group, set the good ORACLE_SID then :
rman target /

connected to target database: CHTDB (DBID=813818505)
RMAN> list archivelog all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
