Theoretically, you would need to do a start_over to remove everything that that version of Oscar did. But, as Jeremy mentioned, it is an "at your own risk" utility. In other words, it is NOT an uninstaller. That having been said, it should bring you to a point at which you can install another version of Oscar, but we do not fully support this operation yet. In the future, we plan on including a way to seamlessly upgrade between versions of OSCAR (instead of uninstall, clean up, install again).
