4 Deinstalling Oracle JDeveloper

This chapter describes how to remove Oracle JDeveloper products from your system.

It contains the following sections:

4.1 Performing Pre-Deinstallation Tasks

Before deinstalling Oracle Fusion Middleware software components, you should stop all Oracle JDeveloper processes.

For more information about starting and stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware, refer to "Starting and Stopping Oracle Fusion Middleware" in Administering Oracle Fusion Middleware.

4.2 Deinstalling Oracle JDeveloper

This section contains information and instructions for removing Oracle JDeveloper components. When you run the Oracle JDeveloper deinstaller, it removes everything under the Oracle home (referred to in this guide as JDEV_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:

4.2.1 Starting the Deinstaller

To deinstall Oracle JDeveloper Studio, do the following:

  1. Go to the following location in your JDEV_HOME:

    • On your Windows system:

      JDEV_HOME\oui\bin\
      
    • On your Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS X systems:

      JDEV_HOME/oui/bin/
      
  2. 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
      

4.2.2 Manually Removing the Oracle JDeveloper Home

If you selected No on the warning screen during deinstallation, you must manually remove your JDEV_HOME directory and all sub-directories. For example, if your JDEV_HOME directory is /home/Oracle/, then on a Linux or UNIX operating system run the following command:

cd /home/Oracle/
rm -rf JDEV_HOME

On a Windows operating system, if your JDEV_HOME directory is C:\Oracle\JDEV_HOME, use a file manager window and navigate to the C:\Oracle\ directory, then right-click on the JDEV_HOME folder and select Delete.
