Raghu,
If you just want to delete one oracle database from an NT machine, do as you
suggest - delete all of the files (control, log, data), init.ora, and any
directories that held these files. Then, be sure and run ORADIM -delete
{sid} to remove the instance from the registry. That should do it.
If you wish to remove a version of Oracle software completely from an NT
machine, I sent a document over this list last week that outlines how to do
this. Pretty simple and straoghtforward - it has always worked for me. If
you want this doc, let me know and I will send it to you.
Hope this helps.
