Removing Oracle especially Listener

1 New Member
I am a tester and have to regularly uninstall software and reinstall it. unfortunately Oracle does not seem to be designed to do this. I have used the uninstall facility but this does not put the computer back to how it was before I installed it. I deleted the left over files in Program files and the Oracle folder that holds the ora92 files. I also deleted mention of Oracle path under Local_machine/Software in the Registry. I tried reinstalling but the Net configuration assistant would not reinstall the missing Listener files because it says the Listener is already installed. The software I am trying to use Oracle with cant find the listener because some files it needs are missing. I deleted all Oracle services and tried reconfiguring and renaming the listener to get it to reinstall but no luck. The PC is in a mess. What are the files/settings I need to delete to allow a full reinstall including for listener please?

Hi,

In order to completely uninstall Oracle from a windows system, make sure you do the following:
- delete the software files from the home directory (c:\oracle\ora9 2 etc).
- delete all the services that start with ORCL. ±8 services exist.
- Clean the oracle folders from the registry. under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE. You can run find orcl / oracle to find all the different folders.
- I would do a system restart at the end, to clear everything up.

This should do the work for you.

I connect using OLEDB from Visual Basic development environment & after the 1st connection...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
