Properly Removing HUGE Temp Files From ASM Storage
The other day, we had a query run amok. The 3 temp files for the temp tablespace were all still set to autoextend unlimited, something I forgot to change after a recent upgrade. I created 3 new temp files and tried to delete the huge temp files. I did this from sqlplus with this commad:
ALTER TABLESPACE PSTEMP DROP TEMPFILE '+DATA/isis/tempfile/pstemp.291.641298061';
The huge files are still in ASM storage. dba_temp_files reports that the status of them is AVAILABLE but they have no RELATIVE_FNO. Grid Control reports their status as OFFLINE and their size as 0. They are actually close to 20 GB each.
