Temporary Tablespace not shrinking automatically after restarting the DB. [message #154540]

I had a Database with 2GB tempfile. It gave me an error that it's unable to extend the temporary segment. I added a new tempfile of 500MB. Within a few min the new file was filled. In process of shrinking the temporary files, I shutdown the DB, and restarted it. But the Tempfiles were still filled to the max. I still don't understand why? Then I attached a new tempfile of 1GB to the Temp Tablespace, but it didn't use the new tempfile. I repeated the restart process again but still the output was same.

1. Both datafiles were filled to the max
2. It didn't use the new (3rd) attached tempfile.

Finally I've created a new tablespace with new Tempfiles, and it's working now. But I'm still confused. Please suggest me with the possibilities. How can i shrink the Temporary Tablespace/Tempfiles.

Thanks & Regards

For us to understand what you did, post a snapshot of what you did along with oracle versions etc.

In most cases, you don't need to.
It is not unusual to see a 99% full temp tablespace. It is the way it works.
