Dear All,
Please I have a problem regarding sysaux tablespace. it is a database for BI & 
I need to purge unused space at sysaux & all other tablespaces if needed. to 
free unused space.
I checked  these options but didn't start them yet.
what  are the procedures that I should follow in such case, as data are very 
sensitive.

alter table xxx deallocate unused space;
alter index xxx deallocate unused space;
 
alter table xxx coalesce;

alter index xxx coalesce;

Now I started to run 
exec dbms_stats.purge_stats(sysdate-4); 
It takes 2 days & still running.

DB Version: 11.2.0.2 Enterprise Edition

DB size: about 500 GB
O.S: Windows 2008 Enterprise Edition R2 64 Bit

Please check & advice.
Thanks
Regards,
