powershell ???
can you fix a car with a pen ?
use the right tool for the right job

install an oracle client
then you will have sqlplus
use sqlplus to
login with a dba user, which requires you to know the password
or login with sys ...

then execute "drop user user_name"

While I believe that the SQL*Plus route is probably the easiest way to go, you can actually do this in PowerShell. Installing a full client is not required (although the ODAC install does include instant client).

I saw something about this recently and decided to do some research. Turns out PowerShell has some sort of .Net framework built into it. There is a pretty good article about that here. It includes an example, but that really relates to SQL Server which has some built in access with PowerShell.

To connect to Oracle, you need to install ODP.NET, you can get that here.

Then this is a pretty good example of how to connect to Oracle through PowerShell.

Go with the Managed Client. There is no "install". Single DLL and proper references and you are good to go.

Disclaimer: Yes, I've seen quick .Net code run in Powershell. I've never done it personally.
