dropped datafile problem

Dear gurus !

I have an "offline dropped" datafile at my database. The file was physically deleted at the OS level after "offline drop". Before dropping the file , all the objects that had extents allocated in that file (from dba_extents) were dropped. Now , V$datafile shows this file as of size=0 and status = 'RECOVER' which is fine.
BUT , file$ show this file as of size 8GB, which is the file size as it used to be before being dropped.
Moreover , fet$ shows 8GB as free extents residing at this file . And , after all , tables get created in that file , i.e. dba_extents show extents with FILE_ID of that file !
When a select statement tries to access a table with extents residing in that file , i get an error message , off course.

So , the question is , how do i make the file's extents disappear from fet$ ?
Thanks a lot.

Andrey.
