You need to shutdown the listener and the database Then you need to run Instance Manager in GUI mode and delete the instance. This should also delete all database files. Then you need to deinstall the software using orainst. You could do that in a 'rough' fashion: delete the complete \ORANT tree and delete HKLM\software\oracle from the registry. Personally I'm doing that in emergencies only.
