v11.2.0.1.0 -> v11.2.0.3 Patch 15: Did I delete the new listener when deleting the old Oracle instal

Hi,
Target OS: Windows Server 2008 R2, 64 bit

After performing the out-of-place upgrade I successfully tested my application. Then I deleted the old Oracle home installation. During the deinstallation I was asked for the listener's name, in my case "LISTENER". After the deinstallation I could not successfully test my application or the lower layer of my Service Name configuration (Oracle Net Manager > Service Naming) anymore:

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.

Have I deinstalled the new listerner even if I provided the old Oracle Home folder?
Why can I start "OracleOraDb11g_home2TNSListener" service successfully but the listener is not working? Can I start the "OracleOraDb11g_home2TNSListener" service (see Windows Services GUI) with command "lsnrctl.exe start LISTENER" or do both commands technically differ?

Howdy, Stranger!
