Even easier is to use TDPOSYNC SYNCDB, and it lets you put a date range in.
Then you can select by reviewing the date of each backup you want to
keep/delete. Much safer than typing the correct number in. If you use a
crosscheck command daily, then old backups shoudln't hang around.

All,
Here is the script directly out of the TDP for Oracle manual:
To remove an old backup, issue this command from the RMAN
prompt:
run
{
allocate channel for delete type 'sbt_tape' parms
'ENV=(TDPO_OPTFILE=c:\RMAN\scripts\tdpo.opt)';
change backupset primary_key delete;
}
Note: To enter a number value for the primary key variable, look up
the value in the RMAN catalog.
My question is: what exactly is the "primary key" variable?
