Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Deleting Oracle8 on NT(cleaning Oracle8)
Raghu,
If you just want to delete one oracle database from an NT machine, do as you suggest - delete all of the files (control, log, data), init.ora, and any directories that held these files. Then, be sure and run ORADIM -delete {sid} to remove the instance from the registry. That should do it.
If you wish to remove a version of Oracle software completely from an NT machine, I sent a document over this list last week that outlines how to do this. Pretty simple and straoghtforward - it has always worked for me. If you want this doc, let me know and I will send it to you.
Hope this helps.
