Trying to uninstall a Oracle 11g RAC from a Windows Server 2008.
Following instructions on: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e25666/rem_orcl.htm
I was able to run batch: C:\app\oracle\product>
11.2.0\dbhome_1\deinstall\deinstall.bat
Final messages was about succesfully uninstallation.
However, I had problems trying to delete folder c:\app. According to
Oracle forums, on Windows there are known problems that generic
process 'svchost.exe' locks some Oracle DLLs at boot time. To solve
the issue I followed instructions:
1) rename %ORACLE_HOME%\bin to something else 2) reboot the machine 3)
now delete the complete folder
Then I went to Registry and deleted key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\Oracle
Then reboot machine.
Problem is that Oracle Services still exists on Windows Services
(services.msc). So I still see
- Oracle Object Service
- OracleASMService+ASM1
- OracleJobSchedulerINTER1
- OracleOHService
- OracleOraCrs11g_home1TNSListener
- OracleOraCrs11g_home1TNSListenerLISTENER_SCAN1
- OracleServiceINTER1
hose services point to erased executables like:
C:\app\11.2.0\grid\BIN\TNSLSNR
because C:\app folder was deleted.
What should I do to remove those services from Windows?

My WAG is that those actions need to be performed while booted in

That's one of the many reasons why I hate Winblows --- Stupid registry.. You can never really clean anything out.
Assuming you are qualified to do so and you know how to do it, you will have to go into the Registry and delete those keys.
If you are not sure of how to do so, please work with your Windows Admin on them, *OR* one of the team from my company can assist you (but we're not free for work like that)..
