net stop oracleservice%ORACLE_SID%
oradim -delete -sid %ORACLE_SID%
remove the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
delete the database files
delete the oracle software files

Install MS Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL or something else.

(oracle writes to the controlfiles every 3 seconds, if there is a database instance up. if there is no database instance up, there won't be an oracle.exe process running).
