I believe that otn.oracle.com has a few hints about creating a 'clean' machine, aka a machine with no Oracle on it. On a real operating system this is as easy as remove something like /opt/oracle/* and /etc/oratab and /etc/oraInst.loc and /usr/local/bin/oraenv dbhome coraenv.

Take you 2-3 minutes. On Windows you need to manually edit the Registry and simply remove all keys connected to something called ora*.
