Message is pretty self explanatory. There is data in the datafile past the 500Mb marker. You may have a single segment in an entire 8 Gb datafile, and if that segment is at the end of the datafile, you will not be able to shrink it down at all.

Here is a very crude query to show you a map of your datafiles

select owner,SEGMENT_NAME,TABLESPACE_NAME,EXTENT_ID,FILE_ID,
        BLOCK_ID,BYTES,BLOCKS
from dba_extents
where tablespace_name in ('DATA')
UNION
select '-','free',TABLESPACE_NAME,0,FILE_ID,BLOCK_ID,BYTES,BLOCKS
from dba_free_space
where tablespace_name in ('DATA')
order by FILE_ID,BLOCK_ID
/

Even if you have only 100M inside your file, if these ones are at the end of the file cannot shrink it.
You have to first move the objects at the begin of the file.
You can try with ALTER TABLE MOVE but the only sure way is to export, drop the objects and reimport.

Query dba_extents for the max(block_id) by file_id and join it with dba_data_files on file_id.
