此为11g的bug，需要在delete后加上force关键字，metalink上有记载
RMAN-08137 When deleting archivelogs even when Streams CAPTURE does not require them [ID 1079953.1]

Symptoms
Applies To: 11gR1-11gR2

RMAN is unable to delete archive logs from database even though they are not needed by CAPTURE process anymore.

Changes

Cause
In 11g, RMAN looks at MIN_REQUIRED_CAPTURE_CHANGE# in vdatabase and not at DBA_CAPTURE. By default this value is updated every 6 hours. So by default the value in vdatabaseandnotatDBAC​APTURE.Bydefaultthisvalueisupdatedevery6hours.Sobydefaultthevalueinvdatabase will be six hours behind the current value.

Solution
Since changing frequency of update to MIN_REQUIRED_CAPTURE_CHANGE# in v$database can not be controlled, following workaround can be used:

Archive log which are not needed by capture process can be deleted using:

delete noprompt force archivelog all completed before ‘sysdate-10/1440’;

PS：我们的环境是12C DG，该BUG在11g中有明确标识，12C就此MARK一下；
