ORA-27100 cleanup failed instance's SGA?

Hey : ),

    I have an instance that was not properly shut down and the error msg I recieve is ORA-27100.
What do I have to do to clean up the failed instance's SGA?

ORA-27100: shared memory realm already exists Cause: An attempt was made to either start duplicate instances, or to restart an instance that had not been properly shut down. Action: Use a different instance name, or cleanup the failed instance's SGA. Many Thanks
