Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all Oracle JDeveloper processes.
For more information about starting and stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware, see Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.
When you run the Oracle JDeveloper deinstaller, it removes everything under the Oracle home from which the deinstaller is started.
Be sure that no system components are using the Oracle home (referred to in this guide as JDEV_HOME
) you want to remove.
JDEV_HOME
directory and all sub-directories. For example:
(Linux, UNIX, or Max OS X)
If yourJDEV_HOME
directory is /home/Oracle/
, enter the following commands:
cd /home/Oracle/
rm -rf JDEV_HOME
(Windows)
If yourJDEV_HOME
directory is C:\Oracle\
, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\
directory, then right-click on the JDEV_HOME
folder and select Delete.If you plan on doing a clean reinstall of JDeveloper in the future, you should also find and delete the product.conf
file that contains JDeveloper settings from previous installations.
If you did not redefine your user home directory, product.conf
will be located at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system12.2.1.2.XX.XX.XX
for Windows and $HOME/.jdeveloper/12.2.1.2.0
for Linux.
