Did you simply try DROP USER QS CASCADE; or DROP TABLESPACE the_ts INCLUDING CONTENTS; ?
Either of those should work. You just need to force the drop to occur even if objects exist. Another option is to run the create scripts again and then immediately run the drop script. That way everything should be there and the drop might work properly.
