I don't get an error ! You just can't select it to delete it with the installer !

I now have the cdrom for oracle 8.0.5 here and developer 6. But oracle 8i and the
developer 6 is still on my computer !

So can you tell me more about the rude way to delete oracle ???? (in detail please if possible)

I want to delete everything from oracle and start all over for the installation...
I use win2000 prof.

Thanks
