Removing Oracle on NT (or any Windoze for that matter)
1. shutdown all oracle services (db, listener, etc.)
2. use the oracle installer and deinstall everything - this gets rid
of a large portion of oracle
3. use regedit and remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle
4. search the registry for oracle (delete every key related to
the oracle install)
do not delete keys related to Microsoft's Oracle ODBC (if
installed it comes with VB) this is NOT an oracle product.
5. search the registry for ORANT (delete these keys)
6. SOUNDLY CURSE the "?genius?" at M$ who came up with the idea
for the registry.
7. search the registry for ORADAC - this is the oracle objects for ole
data access controller (delete these keys)
8. delete the directories of oracle datafiles, software, installer
(usually in Program Files), and in the Start Menu.
9. remove any references to oracle in the autoexec.bat
10. Since this is Windoze reboot the machine.
Now oracle is gone. ;)

Raghu,
By shutting down the database and stopping the listener, you can delete all
the data files and directories without a problem. This will remove your
database.
If you want to remove Oracle8 software, that will require purging the
registry. I don't think I have ever successfully removed ALL Oracle software
from NT.
