Removing Oracle database manually

edited Mar 27, 2013 5:13PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 12 commentsAnswered
I need to remove an Oracle database.

I know I need to shutdown the database first, and that I cannot shutdown the listener since it is listening to more than one database.

Then I need to remove all the data files and log files and that's where I need help. Can someone provide me with an idea on what directories to look in?

Then I am planning to remove any entries from oratab and any crontab jobs.  Anything else I  am missing?

Howdy, Stranger!
