Hamid, 1) Do not let TEMP tablespace have autoextend set to on - my .02 is to never have this set to on for any tablespace, but to monitor and expand as necessary. Other DBAs like autoextend, so you may want that for other tablespaces, but not for TEMP.
2) A nice trick to get TEMP cleared of allocated-but-no-longer-used space is to set the next extent to, say 512MB (from say, 1024MB). This will cause all space but what is being currently used to be wiped out. The set next extent back to 1024 (or whatever it was before).
