You could do a CROSSCHECK from rman to see if they are still listed in
rman catolog and then issue a DELETE EXPIRED statement to delete those
entries if any.

I need to clarify.
Since I delete the input when I backup the archive logs
backup archivelog all not backed up delete all input format
'/d123/backup/arch_%d_%u_%s';
the problem files are not archive logs, but copies of them. The archive
logs have been deleted. These copies are copied off to tape each night,
so I don't want them on disk the next day. I especially don't need them
on disk a week or two later!
All of my rman commands seem to address the original archive logs, not
these copies of archive logs. That is why I am coming to wonder if the
COPIES of the archivelogs on /d123 may not be rman files at all, and can
be cleared out with a simple 'rm'? Of course, I have removed them
with an 'rm', but I am worried that they still may be listed somehow in
rman.
Thank you in advance to any clarification that you can give.

check CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY. I don't think the
commands will bypass the policy.
