If you ever need to uninstall Oracle 19c, follow these steps carefully to ensure a

clean removal. 🚀

🔹 Step 1: Stop Oracle Services


Open Command Prompt as Administrator
Run the following commands to stop Oracle services:
cmd(Comment prompt):
net stop OracleServiceORCL
net stop OracleOraDB19Home1TNSListener
*Replace ORCL with your Oracle SID if it's different.
*Replace OracleOraDB19Home1 with your Oracle Home name if it's different.
*Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) → End any Oracle-related processes.

🔹 Step 2: Delete Oracle Database & Software


Open Oracle Universal Installer (OUI):
Press Win + R, type:
cmd
C:\Oracle19C\deinstall\deinstall.bat
*(If installed in D:\, use D:\app\Oracle19c\dbhome\deinstall\deinstall.bat)
*Follow the on-screen prompts to remove Oracle.
*Manually Delete Oracle Folders
Delete C:\Oracle19C (or wherever you installed Oracle).
Delete D:\app\Oracle19c\dbhome\oradata\ORCL (database files).

⚠️
Step 3: Remove Oracle Registry Entries ( Be Careful)
Press Win + R → Type regedit → Press Enter
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Oracle
Delete the Oracle folder.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Delete any keys related to Oracle (e.g., OracleServiceORCL).

🔹 Step 4: Remove Oracle Environment Variables


Press Win + R → Type sysdm.cpl → Enter
Go to Advanced → Click Environment Variables
Delete these variables if they exist:
ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID
TNS_ADMIN
Remove Oracle paths from PATH (e.g., C:\Oracle19C\bin)
Click OK and Restart your PC.

✅ Step 5: Verify Uninstallation


After restarting, open Command Prompt and check: sqlplus / as sysdba
If Oracle is uninstalled correctly, you should see:
'sqlplus' is not recognized as an internal or external command
That means Oracle 19c is completely removed! 🎉
