Remove all the backup details

how can I remove all the backup details that I have taken using rman nocatalog .
I want to delete all the backup details from the control file and from the physical location where the backups have been stored.
My oracle version is 10.2.0 on solaris 10.

Use "list backup" command to first identify which backups you want to delete.
Once identified and you are sure go ahead and use DELETE command as describe din above post.
There is another way also. If you are sure about the physical location of the backups you need to delete. Just delete them from the physical location using OS commands and then use the CROSSCHECK command in RMAN. This will remove those backups from the CONTROLFILE also.
If its production, think twice before deleting anything. Do test your operations on a test database to make sure they will work as expected.

  • Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. Any third party recovery software I can use?

    Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. What can I do?

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • How do i wipe my mac? i sold it and now want to remove all of my details from it. Do i have to wipe it or can i just reformat the hardrive????

    how do i wipe my mac? i sold it and now want to remove all of my details from it. Do i have to wipe it or can i just reformat the hardrive????

    aha yes - Lion has changed you harddrive setup and added a "recover partition" Now it gets - not technical - but time consuming.
    try:
    insert your Snow Leopard installer DVD.
    Reboot
    Immediately After startup sound, hold down ALT.
    You'll be presented with several options. Select your install DVD and continue.
    If it doesn't fail:
    Once the installer has started, go t the top menu and select "disc utility"
    go to the "partition" screen and erase all partitions back to one single partition
    return to the installer and install that older OS X version
    give to buyer minus the price of a Lion upgrade
    If it fails, go to step 1 and boot from your "recovery drive".
    once the installer has sarted, go to the top menu and select "disk utility"
    erase the drive partition that used to contain OSX Lion - this will remove your private data, all apps and OSX Lion.
    Restart, hold own "eject" and remove the DVD, and shut down again.
    You'll have to hand it over to the new buyer in this state. Tell him the machine will boot into the Lion installer but he'll have to create an App Store account to download and install OS X Lion. One again, give him a reduced price equal to the price of the Lion upgrade. Way I see it, no other options remain.

  • OMG... Time machine deleted ALL the backups, even latest..

    Hey All...
    I have just experienced a nightmare.  If anyone can help I would be in your debt.
    Here we go...
    I was trying to move the backup of old computer ( partition A ) to a new partition ( B ) on same ext. hard drive.   Not enough space in partition b so I looked into deleting some old backups before copying A to B using restore in disc utility.
    Inside time machine I was using the cog thing to select delete backup... selected the oldest backup, thinking this would delete only the oldest backup. 
    It deleted ALL the backups on A, including the latest. 
    This had work files on it that are important so it's a bit of a disaster.  I have had a great backup stradegy for the last 15 years and have NEVER before lost anything.  Here is my details...
    Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz
    10.7.5
    External drive 4 partitions
    Partition A was backed up using 10.6
    From a G5 which I deleted the files from.
    I am hoping the files could be recovred from either the G5 or the hard drive or my trash on the macbook pro?
    I have and will not do too much on my computer like disc utility stuff or empty trash etc.
    It's a long shot, but anyone have any ideas..? 
    Thanks in advance..

    Thanks for your prompt reply Pondini,
    I could have selected all in error but I am sure I didn't.  I guess I must have.. grrr.
    I cannot see any when I enter time machine.
    Ok.  It's just that I've never heard of it erasing more than what was selected.     
    It's possible something went wrong, and at least some of the other backups are still there. Especially if no other changes have been made to the TM drive, you might try running Repair Disk on it with Disk Utility.  Unlikely to help, but it's worth a try.
    The G5. I erased the drive using disk utility and haven't used it since.  There is 2 drives on that machine, the drive we are talking about is not bootable it's just storage.
    Since you already have it, you might want to try running the File Salvage app on it (you'll probably need another HD, or at least partition, to receive whatever it finds).   The results might be more usable than the results from the TM drive, since they're "ordinary" files and folders, not all the "hard links" Time Machine uses.
    EDIT: 
    I had the ext drive hanging off my Mac Book pro 10.7.  Ext drive had TM backups of 2 laptops and G5.
    Hold on a minute -- how were all those backups made -- by connecting the drive directly to each Mac, or were any made over a network (wired or wireless)?  Are they / were they all in the same partition, or separate ones?

  • How Can I Remove All the Links in a Document?

    I want to remove all the internal and external bound links in
    a number of my html documents. Is there any way I can do this with
    one action. I tried using Control + F on </a> and replacing
    it with nothing and that works. But Control + F on <a
    href="URL"> doesn't work as the url for that is different every
    time.
    Is it possible to remove all the links in one sweep, I hate
    to do it manually one by one as there are just so many?

    Yes. In the Find and Replace dialog box, set Search to
    Specific Tag, and
    select a in the drop-down menu alongside. Then set Action to
    Strip Tag.
    You can do this in the current document, a particular folder,
    or the
    entire site, depending on what you select in the Find in
    drop-down menu.

  • My ipod touch was stolen, I'd like to remove all the content that was on it...

    So my iPod touch was stolen. I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'll never see it again.
    I'd really like to punish whoever stole it. I already changed all my passwords and billing information (it was stolen with my purse and I already changed my debit card). I signed into iTunes today and it says I have an outstaning balance. Whoever stole it must have tried to buy something before I changed everything. I'm already in the process of getting that taken care of.
    So I looked at my apps and realised that I don't need them any more so I deleted them. It made a note that the content would be removed from ALL my devices, which got me thinking. Is there a way that I can remove all the music from my iPod as well? I dont want them listening to all my awesome music that I bought. I know that if I remove all my music from my library it will take it away from my iPod, but from my computer as well. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Maybe if I do delete it from my library but get it back somehow, like maybe saving it somewhere else? I know it's a little far-feched but I would feel a little better about some stranger using my iPod (that my brother gave to me as a birthday gift while he was away at the Navy) if they also didnt have access to all the music that he and I bought. Any sort of hints would really be appreciated.
    Thanks =]

    If you set up the Find My iPod service before the iPod was stolen, then if circumstances allow (the iPod is on, connected to WiFi, and the thief hasn't restored the iPod or otherwise disabled the service) you could wipe the device. If you didn't set up the service, though, then there's nothing you can do.
    I looked at my apps and realised that I don't need them any more so I deleted them. It made a note that the content would be removed from ALL my devices.
    I know that if I remove all my music from my library it will take it away from my iPod, but from my computer as well
    That only happens when you sync the iOS device to your computer. It does not remove anything from a non-connected iPod. So there's no need for you to remove your music, nor your apps, from iTunes on your computer since doing so has no effect on the stolen iPod.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to remove all the overlays in DPS?

    Nothing is working for me.  Is there a way to just remove all the overlays in DPS and start over, without redoing my whole layout?

    Not en masse, but if you select each element that has an overlay applied, there is a reset button at the bottom of the Overlay Creator window.

  • How can I remove all the music from my iPhone?

    I want to remove all the music from my iPhone 5 (Current iOS) and then load a completely new set of songs from my Mac (Current OS).
    How do I do that ? 
    Even when I define a specific new playlist and tell it to apply only that it still does not remove the unwanted songs.
    Thanks !

    I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
    All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
    Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
    Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.  

  • Hi,   My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC

    Hi,
    My photo stream used to work fine.  But after removing all the photos to separate folders in my computer, my new photos are no longer streaming to my PC.  They appear in the photo stream on my other devices - iPhone5 and iPad Mini.  It's just my PC that's missing the photos.
    When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos.  That option is ghosted.  I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0.  Any ideas on how I can fix this?  All help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi Kevinmvb,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.  It sounds like you may have moved your photos out of the Uploads folder where they need to reside.

  • Shutting down my iPhone 4S no longer removes all the apps that have accumulated on the multitasking bar. What happened?

    Maybe I imagined it, but I could have sworn that holding down the home button and sleep button at the same time until the slider icon appears at the top of the screen, and then engaging the slider icon,  completely shuts down your iPhone and also removes all the apps that have accumulated in the multitasking bar.  But, that does not work anymore on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 (9A405).  The iPhone shuts down, but the apps in the multitasking bar remain after you turn the phone back on.  Did I imagine this feature in the past, or has something happened that no longer enables this functionality?  Closing all those open apps in the multitasking bar one at a time is a PIA.
