You can drop "Empty" datafiles with the following.

ECSCDAD3 > create tablespace alan datafile '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/CSCDAD/alan_01.dbf' size 1m;

Tablespace created.

ECSCDAD3 > alter tablespace alan add datafile '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/CSCDAD/alan_02.dbf' size 1m;

Tablespace altered.

ECSCDAD3 > alter tablespace alan drop datafile '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/CSCDAD/alan_02.dbf';

Tablespace altered.

And you can drop empty tablespaces with the following.

ECSCDAD3 > drop tablespace alan;

Tablespace dropped.

You can tell which tablespaces are empty from dba_segments and you can tell which datafiles from empty from joining DBA_DATA_FILES.file_id with DBA_EXTENTS.file_id

Please do NOT feed the lazy.
The purpose of this site is to help people learn NOT to spoonfeed and give basic solutions.
If you want you can provide a link to the documentation.
