alter database <datafile_name> offline drop;

I think you need to have the database in NOARCHIVELOG mode to do this though. Also, I'm pretty sure that you will not be able to reuse the datafile name, as it will still be stored within the bowels of Oracle.

The list can confirm if I am wrong though :)
