    I am a student tying to learn Oracle at a local Comm. College. I installed oracle 11g on my Vista Home edition only to find out it needs Enterprise edition. Now I’m trying to uninstall Oracle. I have tried to follow your instructions but haven’t been able to implement the first command. I have the deinstall folder on my desktop and Oracle is installed on my C drive. Can you help?

    Thanks for this post. It made me to think of running CMD in Adminstrator mode and then it worked, altough the process was a bit different as described. 🙂

    It was very useful. But sad thing is that I was not able to deinstall oracle properly. I tried as local user as well as administrator. But both getting stuck at some points and never completed fully.

    After several unsuccessful efforts of deinstallation, I tried deleting the whole oracle folder itself. That was also failing first. Then I started deleting each individual folders inside the Oracle home. At one place, it failed by showing that this particular file is being used by OracleMTSRecoveryService service. So I just took a command prompt and deleted the service using sc delete “OracleMTSRecoveryService”. Then I did a shift+del of complete oracle folder and its gone!!.. 😉

      Hi Abi;

      Simply you can use :
      set ORACLE_HOME=C:\apps\user\product\11.2\home1 or home2
      set ORACLE_SID=xxx
      Than you can make control such as
      echo %ORACLE_HOME%
      echo %ORACLE_SID%

      Steps are already documented, If you don’t have metalink ID than let me know and I will share steps here with you. By the way the recommended way for deinstall is to use deinstall tools. Check deinstall log. Logs will be created under /logs folder. After successful completion check if inventory is updated properly.
      Check if OracleHome folder is deleted. If not then you have to remove it manually.
