SYMPTOMS
Space used by SM/OPTSTAT in the SYSAUX tablespace can not be reclaimed after purge.

CAUSE
Space is not reclaimed immediately after purge is completed. This is normal behaviour because purge_stats
simply deletes data from wri$_optstat* tables with a "delete from ..." statement. Free space will be used for
new inserts into OPTSTAT tables.

SOLUTION
Note: The below solution is recommended to be done in either the least workload time frame (if
instance can not be shutdown) or in the restricted mode (if instance restart is possible).
Move these tables from the SYSAUX tablespace then return them back again.
-- To implement the solution, please execute the following steps::
1- Take a full backup of the database
2- Move the tables:

3- For indexes, find the indexes for the above tables and rebuild them. In case an index is unusable, please
