If you have already installed Oracle software, use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to delete all current instances. Make sure that the necessary services are started in Control Panel Services before doing this.
2. Stop all Oracle-related services in the Services control panel.
3. Deinstall all Oracle products, using the appropriate installers.
4. Delete all Oracle software directories, including the inventory files in the C:\PROGRAM FILES\ORACLE directory.


Checking the Registry

CurrentControlSet\Services registry item.
5. Delete all keys that begin with ORACLE.
6. Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\
CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\
Application registry item.
7. Delete all keys that begin with ORACLE.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for any other ControlSet references in your register that contain ORACLE keys.
