Uninstall Oracle

location like the customer's personal network folder.
Go to Windows Start Menu > All Programs > Oracle - Oracle_10 > Oracle Installation Products > Universal Installer.

Clean Up Left-Over Files
In Windows Explorer, delete any of the following folders that still exist:
• C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Hummingbird
• C:\Program Files\Hummingbird
• C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information\{7F73C791-A3FD-432E-B12A-
4C905567A435}, if it exists. It will probably only be there if you found the "Hummingbird Product
Data Model Installer V9.0.0 " in the control panel.
• C:\Program Files\Oracle
• C:\Oracle (if it won't delete, try rebooting the computer and then deleting it)
