How to completely uninstall oracle software?

Dear all,
I have followed the installation guide to delete the oracle software after i removing the CI and DB instance.
There was 2 parts where i unsure whether i did it correctly.
3. Edit the Oracle Registry entries as follows:
a. Choose Start → Run and enter REGEDIT
b. Delete the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SOFTWARE → ORACLE
c. Delete all Oracle references under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE → SYSTEM→CURRENTCONTROLSET → SERVICES
4. Delete all Oracle references from the Windows user and system environment:
a. Choose Start → Programs → System.
b. Choose the Advanced tab and then click Environment Variables.
c. For example, delete the variables:
TNS_ADMIN, NLS_LANG, ORACLE_HOME
d. Also delete Oracle from the PATH variable
I was unsure because there are so many Sap system installed in the same host. I deleted everything with the <sapid> in the above place.
After i done with the deletion, i start to reinstall a new oracle software, whenever i start the OUI, the old oracle software keep generate out(i deleted manually and trying to install a new oracle software with the same name).
In the end, i gave up and use another name. why is this happening? maybe i didn't delete it clearly enough?
hope some one can explain on this, thanks in advanced
regards,
Jerry

This is where my problem comes. I have multiple SAP instances that are installed in the same host.
I deleted ALL the registry enteries and environment variables that contain the <sid> that i wanted to delete. Then i have problem starting back my other SAP instance(we have to close all the services and sqlplus when deleting the oracle software). I couldn't start the services back with error 6: invalid handler. I could not see any sap system from MMC.
I believe it have to do with the environment variable and registry entries i deleted. Any idea how to recover back or tell me what is the standard environment variable that is needed for multiple sap and oracle to run?
p/s: we have multiple oracle software and multiple sap instance/DB instance installed in the same machine.

  • How do you uninstall Oracle 6i?

    How do you uninstall Oracle 6i? There isn't an Oracle icon/logo under the Add/Remove Program utility nor is there an uninstall feature on the Oracle 6i program menu bar. Hopefully, there is a method to removing the software w/o digging through system directories and deleting Oracle related files. I'm an Oracle newbie, so take it easy on me.

    Open Finder >> Applications >> Utilities >> Terminal
    Now in Terminal type “ cd /Applications/” this will navigate you to Applications Directory
    Now type “ sudo rm –rf iTunes.app/” this will delete iTunes from Mac OS X
    Now you will be prompted to provide “Administrator Password”, Enter the same and confirm to remove iTunes from Mac OS X.

  • Maps on N80: How to completely uninstall before re...

    Nokia Maps worked fine on my N80. Installed on the memory card, with maps for England and some parts of France and Spain. For some reason it now crashes when 'show on map' is used, whether it's from a new search or a recent search. It crashes just at the point it is zooming in.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling however the same thing happens. I have deleted all maps via Nokia Map Loader and since reloaded them.
    I would like to know which system folders contain settings etc. for Maps so that I may again uninstall the app, completely this time, and try re-installing.
    As I mentioned, Maps is installed on a memory card. I wouldn't know when the crashes started, in relation to other activity on the device - it may have been when I added new maps, or it may have been since installing a 3rd party app, I'm not certain but I'd just like to know how to completely uninstall Maps without having to scrub the device or memory card.

    Hi dougalzene
    Unfortunately on this manufacturer's sponsored forum, I would have to say that the only way of deleting the "installation log" would be to reformat your device.

  • How do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

    I recently switch to Apple. can someone tell me how to how do I uninstall a software from my macbook?

    As mecklists indicated, just removing the "icon" from the Application folder is all you need to do in most cases (this is THE beating argument for OS X in my mind compared to Windows with its complex uninstallers; and then still having dozens of registry entries and files spread over the entire harddisk).
    However if you want to get sure that any and all files have been removed, you may look at /Library/Application Support folders available under your user's home and the startup volume's home directory.
    You may simply look for files and folders that are related to the software you have deleted. Anyway, be careful doing so. Not that you mistakenly remove files associated with other applications.

  • Deskjet 3520: how to *completely* uninstall all-in-one-drivers

    Hi!
    How do I completely uninstall the all-in-one drivers? 
    I already used the standard windows uninstaller (via the control panel), but there are still remnants left (e.g. remaining drivers and dlls in the %systemroot%/spool/drivers)
    Is there any way of automatic removal?
    Win 7 Professional, x64
    regards,
    Markus

    Hi Akenine,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 3520 that you'd like to completely remove from your system. I will certainly do my best to help you in resolving this.
    I would recommend that you utilize the Microsoft Fix It Solution Center to finish removing the software. Follow the screen shot below to see what selections to make to get the uninstall help. If that doesn't give you the desired result you can also try the Revo Uninstaller which I've seen many customers use as well.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • How to completely uninstall

    I installed FCP on my Cube but the Cube couldn't run that app so I uninstalled it. However, whenever I check for software updates I am offered the Pro Applications Update 2005-01 version 1.0, so I presume that I did not completely uninstall FCP. How do I do so?
    Thanks,
    John Link

    Thank you, George. Shane's instructions helped me to find additional files to delete, but the Pro Applications update is still offered even after I have deleted all the files I can find related to LiveType, FxPlug, PluginManager, Apple Uncompressed 422 Codec, Helium, and DVCPROHD (See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301888). I neglected to mention in my first message that I had installed Final Cut Studio, not just Final Cut Pro. How can I get rid of it completely?

  • HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

    I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud.  Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time.  I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email.  If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send.  And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send.  I have to re-create it. 
    I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud.  Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud.  And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud.  Here are the references:

    I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem.  I ran the Office install to repair.  This did not work.  I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products.  I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories.  Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled.  Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed.  I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
    So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem.  Now, the second post (above) from
    SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem.  He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud. 
    Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves. Csound1, you have been very generous with your time, and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

  • How to completely uninstall a downloaded program from my macbook pro

    I am trying to uninstall a program that I downloaded from the internet and do not use anymore. However the drag and drop into the trash bin does not do it because it is still in my applications folder. How do I completely uninstall it from my macbook pro?

    Typically there are a couple of ways.
    1. What you did followed by emptying the trash, and
    2. Use the uninstaller that may have been bundled in the package.
    If available, you should run the uninstaller provided by the application.

  • How to completely uninstall an app ?

    Been using Arch for over 2 years by now. There's just a small thing bugging me. I know I can remove an app nearly completely with the
    pacman -Rns <name>
    But I was wondering how could I completely uninstall the app ... like remove all the config files, the stuff in /usr and the entries in various menus and so on. I do understand it might not be possible, but I was just wondering whether there was something like ... Revvo Uninstaller for Arch linux ?

    I installed wine once and had a hell of a time removing all the entries it made in pcmanfm.

    Those files are not the responsibility of pacman. Deleting them would be analogous to deleting the Text files you've created when you decide to uninstall nano....

  • How to completely uninstall air app(clear up user files under app directory)?

    In the adobe air 1.1 install/uninstall document, it says "Removing an AIR application removes all files in the application directory. However, it does not remove files that the application may have written to outside of the application directory. "
    But it's not true. I found you cannot completely uninstall the app if there is any user files under app directory. If the user re-install the app, it will reminder the user "some error has occurred ...because an application with that name already exists at the selected installation location.... ".
    How to get rid of this problem if the user didn't clear up the folder manually before re-install?  If it's a limitation of adobe air, anyone could give me any evidence from official documents? Cause I have to persuade the user to accept it    Thank you.

Problem is, my computer still has the Zen Micro's drivers installed and apparantly it's conflicting with my Sleek because my computer won't recgonize it as a Zen Sleek even after installing the drivers (it just recgonizes it as a generic mp3 player). I can still transfer files to it as a would with a generic mp3 device in My Computer. Problem is, ID3 tags aren't properly sent this way (which is annoying when I want an album organized by track number).
    You shouldn't need to uninstall the Micro, it won't conflict. If tags aren't being sent properly then there might be some issue with the tags being read from the files. Check with a dedicated tagging program, and rewrite the tags perhaps on some test files.
    I'm assuming it's a Sleek with v2.xx firmware?

  • How to completely uninstall iTunes 8 ?

    Hi,
    I would like to know how I can completely uninstall/reinstall my iTunes 8 as administrator without affecting the users iTunes libraries.
    For uninstall I was following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 which is for iTunes 7 and doesn't seem to work for iTunes 8 equivalently. What additional files am I missing? When trying to reinstall iTunes 8 from .dmg, the Installer stills tells me that I am about to recieve an update rather than a new installation....
    Thanks a lot, Joe

    Go to HD>Library>Receipts and remove the receipt for iTunesX.pkg.
    When the installer looks it will see no receipt. The only actions that I have done in the past to reinstall iTunes is to be sure I have a good b/u of the music files as well as everything in the iTunes Folder. I trash the iTunes app and remove the receipt then reinstall.
