Example 12-1 Running deinstall.bat From Within the Oracle Home

The most common method of running the deinstallation tool is to use the version installed in the Oracle home being removed. The deinstallation tool determines the software configuration for the local Oracle home, and then provides default values at each prompt. You can either accept the default value, or override it with a different value. If the software in the Oracle home is not running (for example, after an unsuccessful installation), then the deinstallation tool cannot determine the configuration, and you must provide all the configuration details either interactively or in a response file. To use the deinstallation tool located in the Oracle home directory, issue the following command, where C:\app\12.2.0\grid is the location of Grid home:

Use the following command while logged in as a member of the Administrators group to remove the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation from your cluster:

C:\> app\12.2.0\grid\deinstall\deinstall.bat

Provide additional information as prompted.
