Incomplete Oracle 10g Uninstall Operation on Linux AS 3.0 Causes Re-Install Operation to Fail (6254511)

Workaround: Manually remove the files. Follow these steps:

  1. Remove the /opt/app/* Oracle directories.

  2. Remove the Oracle directory in which you installed the prep-OS scripts.

  3. Delete the oracle user.

  4. Delete the oinstall group.

  5. Delete the dba group.

  6. Remove any Oracle-related files in the /etc directory.

  7. Remove init.cssd files in the /etc/init.d directory.

  8. Remove CSS files in the /etc/rc5.d directory.

Steps will be similar to the following example.
