Try as hard as you may - you can not delete any Oracle data files on
Windows (should have said - on Windows ONLY) while the database is up
and running. Windows keeps them locked 'n safe from deletion attempts.
However, take the tablespace offline and watch its individual data
files become "fair game" for deletion attempts...
The story you've been told on how the problem came to be - simply ain't
true. It takes more than a simple mistake (on Windows that is) to get
to this point. FYI - it takes *deliberate* aim.

P.S.
If there are no recent cold backups (or schema exports) - expect from
partial to total data loss. If data loss is not acceptable - somebody
should get "walking papers" over this.
