Remove / Reuse Oracle Home

513301May 16 2006 — edited Mar 29 2013

An installation of Oracle 10gR2 failed in silent mode. So, I ran the deinstallation script and now want to rerun the installation but I'm getting the error: "Oracle Home with name already exists at location...Please specify another location for Oracle Home." The directory where we want to install the software is empty. What is it that we are missing in order to install the software in the directory? How do we remove the Oracle_home that was not successfully used in the failed installation?

The server is a solaris server. I know how to accomplish this on a Windows platform server.

Thanks.
