Manual uninstall of Oracle 12.1.0.2 database software on unix

It's time to free up some disk space on the servers!

Our servers have 12c, and either 18c or 19c or both.

So I want to get rid of the 12c installion from most of the servers.

I've read about using the deinstall process, and the various things it does.

Because I'm nervous about what can go wrong, I'm thinking of just doing the detachhome and then removing the directories. (and a few other little cleanup tasks that can't break anything)

What I'm wondering though, is what are the downsides to not even bothering to detach the home from the inventory, and just deleting the software directories.

Howdy, Stranger!
