I have dropped a datafile a couple of times by taking it offline and then dropping it. This was done after I created a new datafile and accidentally put it in the wrong place, got the allocation wrong or misspelled the name. You just have to make absolutely sure that the datafile does not contain any objects.

You can't just drop a datafile. You need to drop the entire tablespace.

Hi all,

I need to permanently get rid off some files from the database. I did this:

1. alter database datafile '/orafs/ora1/oradata/LUCP/users02.dbf' offline drop
2. rm the file from physical directory

After I shutdown and restart the db, I still see the file in dba_data_files table. So how to tell the control file that the file is already gone?

Thank you.
