Oh, and you might go to http://otn.oracle.com and look at the 'Sample Code' icon at the top. Search for 'Oracle by Example' and look at the examples. They have step by step instructions, including screen shots, on both install and complete delete (delete so you can start the next example on a 'clean machine').

While each example is for a specific version of the software (database, tools, etc.) using a little bit of imagination and minimal skull sweat, a person could likely 'translate' the information to most supported versions.
