Oracle Admin, (sorry starting a new thread on this but its a bit different from 
the original)

I'm trying to drop this unused undo tablespace/dbf file. Any thoughts would be 
greatly appreciated. Patrick OBrien. 

SQL> show parameter undo

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
undo_management                      string      AUTO
undo_retention                       integer     14400
undo_tablespace                      string      UNDOTBS3

SQL> drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents;
drop tablespace UNDOTBS1 including contents
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01548: active rollback segment '_SYSSMU1$' found, terminate dropping 
tablespace


SQL> drop rollback segment "_SYSSMU1$";
drop rollback segment "_SYSSMU1$"
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30025: DROP segment '_SYSSMU1$' (in undo tablespace) not allowed
