You'd better buy a bigger disk, it's close to impossible to reduce space taken by Oracle software. 500M is a normal size for server software and starter database. Of course, you can destroy database and create it with smaller datafiles. By the way, datafile sizes are set when you are creating them, so the size doesn't depend on the amount of data in the database.
