Reclaiming space after dropping partitions

AGanaMar 22 2016 — edited Mar 31 2016

Hallo,

We use Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production. We have partitioned tables - range partitioned (based on date). As we had space issues, we dropped the partitions from the Database. But if i see the location of the particular tablespace (OS level) it still says its size as 450GB or so. So dropping the partitions does not free the tablespace automatically, what else needs to be done to get the space back?

Thanks in advance
