I asked about this a ways back when I wanted to remove only one version of Oracle. I ended up hosing up the registry and having to completely wipe the hard drive and start over.  Reinstall NT, etc, etc.  Be very careful with deleting registry entries :)  But, now I have a nice clean NT machine with 8i running.  Thank god it was a test machine! 
 
I did not find a way to remove only one version btw. I had to remove ALL oracle components and reinstall only the version I wanted to run. I also don't have metalink access, so no help from there.

Subject: RE: cleaning up oracle homes on NT

I broke oracle on NT one time by messing with them, i thought i'd do it manually, so i tinkered with registry entries, etc, eventually had to blow away all of the oracle stuff and start over.

I don't want to remove all the oracle homes, just one of many.

I noticed they are in sequential order, home0, home1, home2, etc.

What would happen if I removed home0 or home1?  Would it confuse Oracle?

With the size of Oracle software, it is not always practical to delete all
the Oracle homes when only one product has been de-installed.  What if for
example you wanted to upgrade one piece of software, but leave the others
intact?

During installation we can specify yet another oracle home to install the
software, but then the registry gets cluttered with nonexistent home
entries.

    Patrice:

    If you're talking about the filesystem, everything should be under
the
    %ORACLE_HOME% directory (usually c:\oracle\ora81 or the like). The
registry
    entries are all in HKLM\Software\Oracle. Just run regedit and delete
this
    key to remove all the Oracle registry keys. Also, the OUI will not
uninstall
    itself. List, please correct me if I'm mistaken here.

    Andrea asked about removing NT services.

    What about Oracle homes?  The Oracle Universal Installer appears to
be doing
    a poor job of cleaning those up when we de-install Oracle software.
