I have created this tablespace

CREATE TABLESPACE IA643_TBS
DATAFILE 'IA643_dat' SIZE 500K
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 300K MAXSIZE 100M;

I tried to drop it using this command

DROP TABLESPACE IA643_TBS;

And it said that it was dropped, when I tried to create it again, I got those error messages:

ERROR at line 1: 
ORA-01119: error in creating database file 'IA643_dat' 
ORA-27038: created file already exists 
OSD-04010: <create> option specified, file already exists

How can I delete the datafile and recreate the tablespace with same file names?

You can either login to the operating system and actually delete the file or add the reuse keyword after the size in your create tablespace command.

Answer of @Allan correct but for more clarity, let me show my example

SQL> CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE tbs_temp_01 
 2    TEMPFILE 'tbs_temp_01.dbf'
 3    SIZE 5M reuse
 4    AUTOEXTEND ON;
