Deleting archivelogs as they're backed up

I'm setting up an RMAN strategy on 10g under Linux. I've done everything through Enterprise Manager so far I'd like to continue getting EM to do as much of the work as possible.
Something, somewhere is backing up the archivelogs as soon as they become full. I'd like to change whatever it is so that the archivelogs get deleted as soon as they've been backed up, or at least by the daily scheduled backup job. But judging by the Backup Reports I don't think it's my scheduled job that's doing the log backup.
How do I find out what is doing the archivelog backup and change things accordingly?
Thanks
Andy Kent

Once you find the backup script, often with .cmd extension, use this line:
backup filesperset 8 archivelog all delete input format "arch_%d_%u";

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
          Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

TS3899 When I delete email the next time I open mail the deleted emails are back so I delete again. They come back sometimes at least 5-6 times. I have deleted the account and added it back and changed settings several times. What is wrong??

My emails keep coming back after being deleted up to 5-6 times. Why do they keep coming back every time I open my mail? I have deleted my email account and added back and also changed settings. It still does it.

Log into your webmail on a browser and delete them from there.

Unable to delete Login Items - they come back (can't add either)

I have a couple of items listed in my Login Items from applications no longer there but every time I go back into System Preferences they are still there. I can see that they can't be found as they show as kind:Unknown rather than application.
Similarly I tried to add an application and while it shows on exit of system preferences it always reverts to the same state next time I look.

I'm not sure about "Leopard", but in "Tiger", "login items" could be configured from at least four different places, but the ones that appear in the "Accounts" pref pane were the ones listed in the user's "~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist" file.
The symptom of removed "login items" returning could have other causes, but combined with the inability to persistently add your own new ones suggests that that file may be corrupt or have become locked in some way. Try removing it, then reconfiguring your "login items".

How do I permanently delete my messages on my iphone4S? I delete them, but they come back if my phone turns off. I currently have 7.3GB of saved messages on my internal storage.

HT3529 I have 5 GB of saved text messages. I delete them but they come back. Any clue?

How can I get messages to delete from my phone permanently?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, restore the backup library launch iPhoto and check again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Exchange 2013 - Removing a database and deleting folders but they still reappear!!

Hi
I created a new database and moved all the user mailbox's plus discovery mailbox;s over and all went well, i then unmounted and deleted the old database in ECP and stopped all the exchange services and deleted the old database files and folders from the
C:, i noticed i was still getting some errors with windows backup and after looking around i notice for some reason under program files/microsoft/exchange server/v15/mailbox the old db folder appears with the sub folders 'indexmeta', 'journal' and 'ms', it
seems that the last trace of the old databases is still being used because the date is always todays date! everytime i delete these foldersers they come back!!
I think this is the reason why the windows backup is failing with 'this application will not be available from this backup'
any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
If you want to remove the old database, you can follow this document to do that:

Did you enable journal on the old database?

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive? In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up?

When using Time Machine, if I delete items from my computer, will they still be backed up to access later on my external hard drive?
In other words, when time machine backs up again, will it delete the files from the back up that I have deleted from my computer?

No, I do not believe so. Time Machine would keep all those now-deleted files in previous backups, and as time goes by those backups might be deleted if you needed room, but it would still keep one backup from each day in last month, as well as one from each week forever, as long as you don't start running out of room, then just the oldest would be deleted to make room if needed.
I use a backup drive about double the size of my drive to be backed up, so I would guess it will never get to the point where deleted files being replaced by new ones being backed fill up that drive to the point where backups actually have to get deleted.

What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.

<Edited by Host>

I am soooooooooooo confused now. Ok, if you are having problems with Yahoo Mail and Gmail but you do not use Apple's Mail you need to do the following:
1 - Post in Yahoo's Mail forums and/or contact their tech support.
2 - Post in Gmails forums and/or contact their tech support.
Neither of the above are Apple's products.

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

I was having some weird issues like this until I deleted my email account and reset it up as IMAP instead of POP. It's worked beautifully since then.

My email keeps loading the same emails even after deleting them. They keep coming back everytime I start up the mail app. What can I do?

After you delete them, empty the trash before they re-load.
