RE: Dropping datafiles

Read again what C. Trassens wrote -

No, because the datafile will be remaining in the dictionary. The clause offline or offline drop deletes from the controlfile. Therefore, you will receive dbwr errors on account that it expects to allocate data in that datafile. The behaviour is the same even if you use locally management tablespace.

As I said before the only thing you could do, is resize it if you can't recreate the tablespace.
