You only have to worry about objects that reference the invalid objects (directly or through other dependencies), not objects that the invalid objects reference (caveated that they are not referenced by another invalid object).

E.g. Dropping PLAP/TEMP_DIS_CONSTR/PROCEDURE, won't affect SYS/ALL_CONS_COLUMNS/VIEW

That depends...

Some of those invalid packages/procedures/functions/views may need to have their code changed so that they may be used later on. So, I don't think it is the case to rush into such spring cleaning. First use dbms_utility.compile_schema(x_schema,false) to see what can recompile, then send all the developers you know to be working on that database a list of the invalid objects, eventually including also the errors, with the warning that, if in within two weeks they won't fix them, then they will be dropped.

Yet, if your concern is space, tables are those that take most of the space.

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I did. First I tried to see what invalid objects I could recompile (except I used @utlrp.sql). Then, I sent all the developers a list of the invalid objects with each error included so that they can look through and fix the code if need be.

Thanks for the clear and concise answer Paulzip! This is exactly what I needed to know!
