Hi All,
I have oracle DB with multipules SIDs in that.Now I deleted the SID(using DBCA) but still there are .dbf files exists in the SID which are not deleted even on SID deletion.
I tried to delete them manually but I get the error "already in use"
I tried to run the following query -
SQL> ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 'D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\oradata\emdb\AGLP2118TEMP.DBF' OFFLINE DROP;
It ran successfully but files are not deleted.
Could you please tell me how can I delete there files.
Thanks
Vipin Kumar

Use rm.
This command does not delete the file and it is not its purpose, it just inform Oracle that you have deleted or will delete the file.
Moreover the full command is:
ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE '...' OFFLINE FOR DROP;

And? Have you actually READ what you copy/pasted?
ORA-01110: data file 126: 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\EMDB\MLVPSCHEMA.DBF'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) The system cannot find the file specified.
It seems you have deleted a datafile from the file system that was not dropped before.

Depends. Did you WANT do drop them?
If not, and you still need them and the data in them, then then you would have to restore from a backup.
If you don't need them , and you wanted to drop them anyway, then open the database into the MOUNT stage, drop them, then OPEN the database.
Detailed steps are here.

I want to drop them at the same time want to run the db which is not up at this point(due to this problem).
But I have others SID(in the same DB) which is running and I can only logged into the DB by that SID.
So can I follow the process told by you by using in some other SID?

That makes no sense. A database instance can only have one SID.
Anything you want do to with that database you have do to with the SID of that database.

I think i am not able to understand you.
Here is the example -
Suppose i have oracle DB installed at my server and there are three SIDs A,B and C.
Now I created some users in A and wrongly give the path of B's directory during creating of tablespace
eg
Create tablespace ......
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\B\MLVPSCHEMA.DBF'
Now I deleted B SID but these files are not deleted from B's directory because there are currently in use by some user in A SID.
Now I stopped all the services(for all SID's) and manually deleted this file.
and restart the services for A. now when i tried to logged in with some user in A then i got the problem mentioned by me.
Now I can not logged in to A SID becuase of that problem but I can login to C.
So my question is can i follow the steps told by u by login into C?
Hope I am understood.

1. How many databases have you got now?
2. What's datafile in which database have you tried to delete?
3. Post your steps clearly again. For example
C:\>set oracle_sid=meta
C:\>sqlplus /"as sysdba"
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Fri Jan 9 15:43:00 2009
Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
sys@META>
3. Define which datafile and its status you've just deleted. For example
sys@META> @sqlplus\tbs
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--Identified tablespaces associated with datafiles--+
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
TBS_NAME DFT_NAME MB STATUS
-------------------- ------------------------------ ------------ -------
SYSTEM C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 480 SYSTEM
ATA\META\SYSTEM01.DBF
UNDOTBS1 C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 30 ONLINE
ATA\META\UNDOTBS01.DBF
SYSAUX C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 260 ONLINE
ATA\META\SYSAUX01.DBF
USERS C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 5 ONLINE
ATA\META\USERS01.DBF
EXAMPLE C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 100 ONLINE
ATA\META\EXAMPLE01.DBF
LOGMNR C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 10,240 ONLINE
ATA\META\LOGMNR01.DBF
STREAM C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\METAD 10,240 ONLINE
ATA\META\STREAM01.DBF
7 rows selected.
sys@META>
You can use this simple script:
sys@META> host cat sqlplus\tbs.sql
Prompt +------------------------------------------------------------------+
Prompt +--Identified tablespaces associated with datafiles--+
Prompt +------------------------------------------------------------------+
set termout on
set feedback on
set linesize 150
col tbs_name format a20
col dft_name format a30
col MB format 999,999,999
select vt.name tbs_name,

This would suggest that once you have deleted a file it can no longer be opened. Which seems rather obvious to me.
