We can also use REPORT commands to know about the obsolete backups (with respect to a retention policy) which are not relevent. Suppose  you have set retention policy to redundancy 2 and have taken 5 database backups then first 3 backups are obsolete.
 

RMAN> report obsolete;

RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to redundancy 2
Report of obsolete backups and copies
