I have a 4 TB DB and I have archived or deleted about 1.5TB of data. I would like to shrink my overall size of DB from 4 to 2.5TB. I need to reclaim the OS space back as well. What is the best way to achieve this in Oracle 10g

Hello Chris

I would go for Reorganization followed by Shrink data files.
