creating table spaces

Hi,

I just created 2 tables, let's call them X and Y by using "create tablespace" command. each created 1 file let's call them X.ORA and Y.ORA. NOW... I dropped both table spaces by "drop tablespace" and I commited my
transaction. Strange thing is that, the tablespaces where dropped from the dba_tablespaces table but the .ORA files were not removed. can I removed these files manually? (knowing that no user is using those tablespaces)
