Uninstall Oracle

1.Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
2.Run regedit.exe and delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE. This contains registry entires for all Oracle products.
Delete any references to Oracle services left behind in the following part of the registry:

It should be obvious which ones relate to Oracle.
