DROP USER CASCADE - is it sufficient to remove all traces of a user in an instance?

edited Mar 19, 2018 7:41AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 9 commentsAnswered

Can I be sure that issueing "DROP USER <name> CASCADE;" is sufficient to set back the instance to the same state as it was before the USER had been created for the first time?

I mean, will  all traces of that USER be removed from Oracle?
