This chapter describes how to completely remove all software from an Oracle home directory.
|
Note: If you want to remove an individual product, check the product-specific documentation for requirements and restrictions. |
The following steps describe how to use the Installer to remove Oracle software from an Oracle home:
|
Note: Always use the Oracle Universal Installer to remove Oracle software. Do not delete any Oracle home directories without first using the Installer to remove the software. |
If necessary, log in as the oracle user:
$ su - oracle
Set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable to specify the path of the Oracle home that you want to remove:
Bourne, Bash, or Korn shell:
$ ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/client_1 $ export ORACLE_HOME
C shell:
$ setenv ORACLE_HOME /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/client_1
Start the Installer as follows:
$ $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller
In the Welcome window, click Deinstall Products.
The Inventory window appears, listing all of the Oracle homes on the system.
In the Inventory window, select the Oracle home and the products that you want to remove, then click Remove.
When the Installer displays a confirmation window asking you to confirm that you want to deinstall the products and their dependant components, click Yes.
The Installer displays a progress indicator as it removes the software.
When the products have been deleted, click Cancel to exit from the Installer, then click Yes.
