Re: Oracle Un-Installation doesnt Remove all files!!

It's worth bearing in mind a couple of things.

1. The range of platforms and environments that Oracle runs on, using essentially the same install process for a mainframe as your laptop
2. Even Microsoft as authors of the OS don't provide a database that uninstalls all parts of itself reliably from their own OS.
3. Oracle do provide a document showing you how to do this.

In all I think you've probably got your money's worth.
