Answer 1

I was trying to follow the flow described here - but haven't luck to completely kill the session.. Then I fond additional step here:

What I did:
1. select 'alter system kill session ''' || sid || ',' || serial# || ''';' from v$session where username = ''; - as described below.
Out put will be something like this:
alter system kill session '22,15' immediate;
2. alter system disconnect session '22,15' IMMEDIATE ; - 22-sid, 15-serial - repeat the command for each returned session from previous command
3. Repeat steps 1-2 while select... not return an empty table
4. Call drop user...

What was missed - call alter system disconnect session '22,15' IMMEDIATE ; for each of session returned by select 'alter system kill session '..
