As others said pre Oracle 9i it is hard to find out which indexes are not being used, but if you suspect a particular index is not being used then you can try to verify that by moving it to a new tablespace that contains only that index. Then you monitor over time to see if that tablespace is accessed. If not then the index is not being used.
