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 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.
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.
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\system12.2.1.1.XX.XX.XX
for Windows and $HOME/.jdeveloper/12.2.1.1.0
for Linux.
