 How to remove a local service or part of one. Oracle 11g
I am trying to practicing running an ORACLE 11g Database installation and then uninstalling it. I am running a 32 bit Windows XP Professional version operating system. My problem is that on my last uninstall, the control for the OracleDBConsoleORCL service is still left in the services controller. I have cleared all other ORACLE references. I cannot figure out how to remove it. Does someone have the information on how to remove this partial information of the left over OracleDBConsoleORCL service?

Software/Hardware used:
32 bit Windows XP Professional version operating system, ORACLE 11G v2

Answer Wiki:
Try the following steps to remove oracle completely.... 1. Uninstall all Oracle components using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). 2. Delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE key which contains registry entries for all Oracle products by using regedit. 3. Delete any references to Oracle services/components in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/. Looks for key entries that starts with “Ora” which are obviously related to Oracle. 4. Reboot now 5. Delete the ORACLE_BASE directory. (i.e DriveLettter:Oracle>) 6. Delete the DriveLetter:Program FilesOracle directory. (where u install most if that C:) 7. Empty the temp directory. 8. Empty the recycle bin. Now again reboot ! ----- This can be used from the command line to remove the service: <pre>sc delete OracleDBConsoleORCL </pre>
