Oracle clean up

I have an Oracle database on a VMWare image that seems to be slowly eating all my available disk space. I would like to know if there is a command or script that would perform some kind of clean up of temporary or log data? This is a development image so data loss isn't a big deal, but available space is huge!

To get you started, check:

• the archivelog destination directory (consider switching to noarchivelog if PITR is not required)

• whether the datafiles/tempfiles in your tablespaces have autoextend enabled and an unlimited maximum size.

• $ORACLE_HOME/network/log for the listener log

• the various _dump_dest directories for tracefiles and the alert log
