Removing Seemingly Dead Oracle (Grid) Homes
We are getting ready to patch our ODA systems from 2.7/2.8 to the current version but we need to make room on u01 as we are running out of space:

It appears that the files in 11.2.0 and 11.2.0.3 are not being used. I have tried various renditions of fuser/lsof and also checked any log directories in these and none have been updated for months. I know for a fact our grid stuff runs from 11.2.0.4/grid and the databases out of oracle/product/*. 11.2.0 and 11.2.0.3 contain grid homes that appear to not be in use.
