Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all Oracle Fusion Middleware processes.
For more information about starting and stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware, refer to Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.
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.
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, enter the following commands:
cd /home/Oracle/ rm -rf
On a Windows operating system, if your ORACLE_HOME
directory is C:\Oracle\
, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\
directory and delete the contents of the directory..
