DROP DATABASE Command In Oracle

Yesterday I have written about how to remove an oracle database. Thanks to Tonguc, he made me to investigate DROP DATABASE command with his comment. I drop a database via this command and check database configuration files. I see that when you drop the database with command, Oracle deletes datafiles from operating system. If you want to remove all items that related database you must do some work more. I have written what that work is yesterday.
