Nevermind I found this on metalink in the patch README:

De-Installation of the Patch Set

There is no mechanism provided for de-installing patch sets. If you are concerned about being able to de-install a patch set, Oracle recommends that you back up your software installation before applying the patch set.

If you must de-install a patch set, Oracle recommends one of the following procedures (in order of preference):

Restore the ORACLE_HOME from backup.
Re-install the baseline release and any patch sets previously applied, up to but not including this patch set.

Regardless of how you de-install a patch set, please contact Oracle Support Services to verify that the problem you are encountering is being addressed. Received on Fri Apr 23 2004 - 14:25:00 CDT
