Explanation

After CROSSCHECK BACKUP validates files against the RMAN repository, use LIST EXPIRED to view backup records whose files are missing. This shows which backups exist in metadata but not on disk. DELETE EXPIRED would remove these records (possibly irreversible), DELETE OBSOLETE removes backups no longer needed per retention policy, and CHANGE UNCATALOG removes records entirely.
