You can drop the ENTIRE tablespace including contents and datafiles if you
don’t need anything in the tablespace (
just to clarify I’m confident LS meant you can’t drop one of multiple datafiles
and have a remaining viable tablespace).
I’ve always done operations like this “offline” so there is no possibility of
involving a freespace dance as extra work along the way to the drop.

hi
you cannot drop a datafile from a tablespace (unless it is the only datafile of
course), you must restore a backup and recover it

Hello,
I have a datafile that is in this situation:
SQL> select FILE_ID, STATUS, ONLINE_STATUS from dba_data_files where
online_status = 'RECOVER';
FILE_ID STATUS ONLINE_STATUS
---------- --------- -------------
14 AVAILABLE RECOVER
1.) Can I do it ? Is there any impact ?
alter tablespace TBS drop datafile 14;
or
2.) Must I do it:
alter database datafile 14 offline
and them via O/S command : delete the file
