Practical notes and a short cleanup checklist for Oracle Database 10g installed on a non-system drive (Windows 7). This expands on @LastMitch’s pointer to the Oracle documentation and the successful restart reported by , and is intended to help anyone who still finds the product missing from Programs and Features.

Before any removal, take backups of any database files, listener/tnsnames.ora and other network files, and export any registry keys that will be changed. Stop Oracle services first (Services MMC or command line). Example commands (replace placeholders with the real names on the system):

net stop OracleService<YOUR_SID>
net stop OracleDBConsole<YOUR_SID>
net stop "OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener"

If the product doesn’t appear in Control Panel, run the Oracle Universal Installer from the installation home (look for ORACLE_HOME\oui\bin\setup.exe) and use its deinstall/uninstall options. If installer metadata is missing, reinstall the same exact 10g build into the same ORACLE_HOME (same paths) so the OUI can be used to remove it cleanly — then run the uninstall. This is a common and safe recovery path.

After a successful uninstall, clean up leftovers: remove ORACLE_HOME directories on D:, remove Oracle-related PATH and environment variables (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, TNS_ADMIN), and carefully remove registry entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE (on 64‑bit Windows also check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ORACLE) and any Oracle services under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services (export before deleting). Reboot when finished. If unsure at any step, consult the official Oracle deinstall documentation before making registry or service changes.

To my suprise, I found the oracle uninstall option in the add/remove programs. (Yesterday it was not there :)).
Maybe it appeared after restarting the system..
Uninstalled successfully...
