What is the most efficient, quickest way to completely recreate the database
to minimize downtime?

The system architecture in question is 10.2.0.4 running on Sun SPARC 64-bit
Solaris. This is a 2-node RAC system, using ASM for datafile storage.

The background need for doing so is the production database has old "ghost
copies" or "ghost data" that is of a sensitive nature in all of the
datafiles including the system datafiles, and Oracle has not provided a way
to clean this up besides complete database recreation.

Thanks,
Michael Wehrle
