I do not need the data, just want it and the files gone now.  

Cannot do step 3, get:
ORA-01109: database not open

If I could have dropped the schema - I did try the drop tablespace before I posted these requests.

I figured there must be a way to force the database open so I could get to the tablespaces and schemas.

As the coupe de grace, I didn't backup the files I corrupted, so I look like an infant DBA with 15 years experience.

Thanks for trying,
