Lisa,
yeah, you can either delete the files, or use the REUSE clause in the create
tablespace command. the REUSE clause will reuse the existing file if it
finds it - if it doesn't find it, it will create it normally.
if you are on NT, you may not be able to delete the file (file is sometimes
locked by the Oracle processs - a re-bounce of the database clears this up).
hope this helps.

I attempted to create a new tablespace, but did not have db_files set large
enough and so it aborted the tablespace creation (found this in the alert
log). However, some of the process completed as it did create a datafile.
Now that I have bumped up the db_files parameter what do can I manually
delete the datafile (at the OS level) without repercussion? Nothing
recognizes the datafile (e.g. select * from dba_data_files, OEM, TOAD).
thanks,
lc
