You have following choices to free up space from recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
  then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
  BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.

  reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
  system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
