We need to strip all oracle files from an UNIX box and are not sure of the location of all the files. I have a doc that explains the procedure on NT, but can't seem to find a similar one for UNIX. Anyone have one or an information? Thank you, Rob

I have not 'stripped' oracle out of a box. We did have servers that were being discarded so had to do some cleanup before pulling the plug.

Here is what I would do.

1. Shutdown immediate
2. Delete all the data files, control files and redo logs
3. Delete the ?/network/admin/tnsnames.ora, ?/network/admin/listener.ora, ?/dbs/init.ora files
4. Delete the /etc/oratab file
5. Delete all binary file from $ORACLE_HOME
6. Remove entries from the startup and shutdown folders.

Hope this helps.
