Recycle bin and dropping tablespaces

Today I hit an interesting issue. First the instance have not shut down within an hour. Second I could not drop a schema. The reason seems to be an entry in the recycle bin left after some table, which was bound with a tablespace, which in turn has been dropped apparently some time ago. So no tablespace, while the entry left and dropping the schema or purging recycle bin have failed with error in recursive SQL.

The solution quite simple - creating a new tablespace with the old name, then purging the recycle bin again .
