If you're not preserving anything from Oracle 9i, rm -rf * on the Oracle directory and it'll go away. Also, clean up you .profile to remove any paths you stored, rm -rf /var/opt/oracle, the /etc/init.d/dbora file (if you created one) and the associated links in /etc/rc2.d and /etc/rc0.d, etc.

If you're not comfortable doing it that way, run the installer and uninstall the products from there.

Oh, and if you break your box because you removed the wrong files/directories, you're on your own!
