This section contains information and instructions for removing a Quick Start distribution. When you run the deinstaller, it removes everything under the Oracle home (referred to in this guide as ORACLE_HOME) from which the deinstaller is started. Be sure that no system components are using the Oracle home you want to remove.
This section contains the following topics:
To deinstall a Quick Start distribution, do the following:
Go to the following location in your ORACLE_HOME:
On your Windows system:
ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\
On your Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS X systems:
ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/
Start the deinstaller by running the following command:
On your Windows system:
install.exe -deinstall
On your Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X systems:
./deinstall.sh
If you selected No on the warning screen during deinstallation, you must manually remove your ORACLE_HOME directory and all sub-directories. For example, if your ORACLE_HOME directory is /home/Oracle/, then on a Linux or UNIX operating system run the following command:
cd /home/Oracle/
rm -rf ORACLE_HOME
On a Windows operating system, if your ORACLE_HOME directory is C:\Oracle\ORACLE_HOME, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\ directory, then right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and select Delete.
