My guess is that your background is SQL Server or Sybase and you haven't a clue what you just asked.

If you literally mean what you asked then stop Oracle .... shutdown ... and just delete the data files, control files, and log files.

If you really mean something completely different you need to learn something about Oracle ... but you can log on as SYS and drop the user using the CASCADE flag.
