Accidentally sent before completed.

1. Stop Oracle and other Oracle related services
2. Run oradim
3. Remove Oracle directory and all subdirectories
4. Remove Oracle directory under "Program Files"
5. Remove Oracle from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / ORACLE

If you do not know how to do any of these steps I'd suggest finding someone that does. The last one, in particular, can trash the machine if done incorrectly.
