We're having issues with installing and configuring ORACLE 11g onto a Windows 7 64 machine.
We are now at the point of trying to completely uninstall ORACLE 11g so we can reinstall.
Unfortunately, we've run into several issues trying to deinstall as well. We can't seem to get the ORACLE Universal Installer to lauch from the Windows Start menus. When we click on the OUI, it does not launch. We get no error messages of any kind. We don't see the process/task start in the Task Manager. We have spent several days trying to install/configure and are getting terribly frustrated at this point.
The best course of action we can think of is to uninstall and start again. However, we can't run the OUI. How can we clean ORACLE off our machine totally, so we can start the install from scratch. We've done a fair amount of browsing for answers. A lot of folks seem to run into this issue. All the solutions start with 'Run the OUI' (which we of course can't).
We are stuck at this point. What is the best way to procede?
Once we finally get to ground 0, we can try to figure out the DB configuration issues we were seeing before.
We could sure use a hand.
Thanks,

The six-step process to remove all things Oracle from a Windows machine:
A. Delete the Oracle services: In the registry, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices
and delete everything that starts with 'Oracle'B. Remove other Oracle stuff from the registry: Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARE
and delete the key ORACLEC. Reboot
D. Delete all the Oracle software from the directories where you installed it
E. Delete the Oracle software inventory: Delete the directory
C:Program FilesOracle
. You must do this no matter where you installed your Oracle software - the Oracle installer automatically writes information here. F. Delete all shortcuts from your Start menu.
G. Remove the Oracle directories from PATH Environment Variable.
To simplify cleanup in the future, I'd strongly recommend you install your Oracle products in one or more virtual machines.

Have a look at:
Basically, it comes down to:
Remove all you can with the installer.Remove Oracle keys from the registry.Remove the Oracle directories from your computer.
With (of course) the requisite reboots thrown in as required ;-)

It's worth noting that there is an official Oracle standalone deinstaller: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e47689/remove_oracle_sw.htm#LADBI1332, which I just used to uninstall Oracle 11 client. This is not necessarily better or easier to use than the top suggestion on this page, but it is 'official'.
One thing to note - if you use the official deinstaller, it does not like the temp folder to have spaces in it. So if you have it set to 'Documents and Settings...temp' it will fail. Use the control panel environment settings button to SET the TEMP folder first.

The tips for using a VM enviroment is the best: no worries about deinstalling. Just install a complete Oracle enviroment and after one succesfull run: winrar the VM ... after corrupting the Oracle home once again: just delete the current VM and unrar the backup

Assuming a unix type OS and that you properly installed it using an account named oracle...
find / -user oracle -exec rm -fr {} ;
That having been said, this must be done as root and you had better not mind loss of any and all files that belong to oracle. There will be no... NO recovery from this method.
