Drop Tablespace Including Contents And Datafiles; The Datafiles Are Not Automatically Deleted

edited Jan 28, 2015 6:32AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

In windows when using drop tablespace including contents and datafiles does not delete the .dbf file from os level.

I get the following in alert log file:

ORA-01265: Unable to delete

ORA-27056: could not delete file

OSD-04024: Unable to delete file.

O/S-Error: (OS 32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

I also followed the steps descibed in Doc ID 389467.1 but same result.

Can anyone share their views on this?

Howdy, Stranger!
