This topic explains how to remove Oracle software.
About the Deinstallation Tool
The Deinstallation Tool (deinstall
) is available in the installation media before installation, and is available in Oracle home directories after installation.
It is located in the path $ORACLE_HOME/deinstall
.
The deinstall
command stops Oracle software, and removes Oracle software and configuration files on the operating system.
The command uses the following syntax, where variable content is indicated by italics:
deinstall -home complete path of Oracle home [-silent] [-checkonly] [-local] [-paramfile complete path of input parameter property file] [-params name1=value name2=value . . .] [-o complete path of directory for saving files] [-help | -h]
The options are:
-
-silent
Use this flag to run the command in silent or response file mode. If you use the
-silent
flag, then you must use the-paramfile
flag, and provide a parameter file that contains the configuration values for the Oracle home that you want to deinstall or deconfigure.You can generate a parameter file to use or modify by running
deinstall
with the-checkonly
flag. Thedeinstall
command then discovers information from the Oracle home that you want to deinstall and deconfigure. It generates the properties file, which you can then use with the-silent
option.You can also modify the template file
deinstall.rsp.tmpl
, located in the response folder. -
-checkonly
Use this flag to check the status of the Oracle software home configuration. Running the command with the
-checkonly
flag does not remove the Oracle configuration. The-checkonly
flag generates a parameter file that you can use with the deinstall command. -
-local
Use this flag on a multinode environment to deconfigure Oracle software in a cluster.
When you run
deconfig
with this flag, it deconfigures and deinstalls the Oracle software on the local node (the node where deconfig is run). On remote nodes, it deconfigures Oracle software, but does not deinstall the Oracle software. -
-paramfile
complete path of input parameter property file
Use this flag to run deconfig with a parameter file in a location other than the default. When you use this flag, provide the complete path where the parameter file is located.
The default location of the parameter file depends on the location of deconfig:
-
From the installation media or stage location:
$ORACLE_HOME/inventory/response
for UNIX based system andORACLE_HOME\response
for Microsoft Windows. -
From a unzipped archive file from OTN:
/ziplocation/response
for UNIX based system andziplocation\response
for Microsoft Windows. -
After installation from the installed Oracle home:
$ORACLE_HOME/deinstall/response
for UNIX based system andORACLE_HOME\deinstall\response
for Microsoft Windows.
-
-
-params [name1=
value
name 2=
value
name3=
value. . .]
Use this flag with a parameter file to override one or more values that you want to change in a parameter file you have already created.
-
-o
complete path of directory for saving response files
Use this flag to provide a path other than the default location where the properties file (
deinstall.rsp.tmpl
) is saved.The default location of the parameter file depends on the location of deconfig:
-
From the installation media or stage location before installation:
$ORACLE_HOME/
for UNIX based system andORACLE_HOME\
for Microsoft Windows -
From a unzipped archive file from OTN:
/ziplocation/response/
for UNIX based system and\ziplocation\response\
for Microsoft Windows -
After installation from the installed Oracle home:
$ORACLE_HOME/deinstall/response
for UNIX based system andORACLE_HOME\deinstall\response
for Microsoft Windows
