any ways its ok zone advisor..
select segment_name from dba_segments where tablespace_name='EXAMPLE';
This will confirms that a table has been created in the tablespace EXAMPLE.
so it is essential to drop the tablespace and the contents in it so to fix this problem do the following:-
drop tablespace EXAMPLE including contents and datafiles;
This will fixed the issue.
The option INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES will removes the physical files.
