The above shows that you used to have Personal Oracle in e:\oracle_po8 If you want to delete *ALL* Oracle, do:
del (rm -r, or whatever) e:\oracle_po8 (or whatever oracle diry) regedit (or regedt32) and delete: HKLM\Software\Oracle. Oracle 8i (rather: Universal Installer) saves in Program files\Oracle - you can clean
that out, too.

But only if you want to remove *ALL* oracle.
