Delete Oracle databases (Windows systems)

You can delete Oracle databases from a server using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. Remove the Oracle database services and files as follows: Procedure Log on to the operating system as a user with administrator privilege. Choose Start→All Programs→Oraclehome-name→Database Configuration Assistant. Select Delete a database and click Next. Select the database to be deleted (for example, TC) and click Finish. All the database files and administrator files are deleted. You may need to manually remove remaining files relating to this database instance from the ORACLE_HOME\database directory. These files have the instance identifier as parts of their names, for example, iniiman0.ora, strtiman.cmd, imandb1.lst, imandb3.lst, and imandb3.sql.
