Bob,

No surprises, you're not alone.

The easiest 400MB to 500MB to remove are the templates and demo files for the starter instances and schemas.

Try deleting %ORACLE_HOME%\assistants\dbca\templates\* to free up 300MB (these are the 'OLTP' and 'Data warehouse' templates used by the dbassist tool - if you don't use them for creating instances, get rid of them), and %ORACLE_HOME%\demo\schema\* to free up 100MB of the scripts used to create the sample schemas - again if you don't use them.

There might be more that can be removed ... doco and the like ... but that's a start.

Ciao
Fuzzy
