12.5.4.1 Running the deinstall Command From an Oracle Home
You can run the deinstall
command from an Oracle home.
deinstall
command stops Oracle software, and removes Oracle software and configuration files on the operating system.
Example 12-1 Running deinstall.bat
From Within the Oracle Home
The most common method of running the deinstall
command is to use the version installed in the Oracle home being removed. The deinstall
command determines the software configuration for the local Oracle home, and then provides default values at each prompt. You can either accept the default value, or override it with a different value. If the software in the Oracle home is not running (for example, after an unsuccessful installation), then the deinstall
command cannot determine the configuration, and you must provide all the configuration details either interactively or in a response file. To use the deinstall
command located in the Oracle home directory, issue the following command, where C:\app\19.0.0\grid
is the location of Grid home:
Use the following command while logged in as a member of the Administrators group to remove the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation from your cluster:
C:\> C:\app\19.0.0\grid\deinstall\deinstall.bat
Provide additional information as prompted.
Note:
When using thedeinstall
command from a location other than within the Oracle home being removed, you must specify the -home
option on the command line.
