Hi,

Well i don't know why u want to shift from archivelog to noarchivelog, but it is true that any time you can shift from archivelog to noarchivelog or vice-versa. To do this follow the following steps :

First take a full backup for safety.

Shutdown the DB cleanly.

Mount the DB.

Issue ALTER DATABASE NOARCHIVELOG;

Open the DB.

Againg shutdown the DB cleanly.

Take a cold backup;

Open the DB.

Now ur DB is running in noarchivelog and u can delete that archivelogs also.

Best of Luck
