If any of the files were being accessed when you removed them they won't show up in an ls command but will still occupy space (and not actually be deleted) until they are no longer being accessed. For example, if you rm all your data files while the database is running the space will not be reclaimed until the database is shut down.

Is there any why to refresh this command or are there any alternatives ? naren narender akula Oracle DBA OCP ________________________________ TERRALINK INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ddi: 04 915 6055 fax: 04 915 6030 mobile: 021470971 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail: PO Box 2872, Wellington -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Narender Akula INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
