• Find a terminal with X-windows
• log in as the user oracle
• run dbca
• delete the database
• exit dbca
• run orainst
• list your installed products
• check them all
• Now click remove.

And of course this is all documented in the installation manual.

BTW 8.1.7 is hardly new, moreover it is desupported. You should upgrade to 9..2.0.6
