6 Removing Oracle Software

The following steps describe how to use the Installer to remove Oracle software:


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.

  1. Start the Installer as follows:

    $ $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller
    
    
  2. In the Welcome screen, click Deinstall Products.

    The Inventory screen appears, listing all of the Oracle homes on the system and the products installed in each Oracle home.

  3. In the Inventory screen, select the Oracle home containing the products that you want to remove.

  4. If you want to delete specific products select them from the tree window.

  5. Click Remove.

    The Installer displays a confirmation screen asking you to confirm that you want to deinstall the products and their dependant components.

  6. Click Yes.

    The Installer displays a progress indicator as it removes the software.
