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.
