Well, I’ve got news for you. Whenever you install Oracle to a system, there is no way to uninstall it even if you uninstall it and remove files it’s going to be in your system, so what you need to do is back up your data format, your drive, and install windows clean.

you should look into virtual machines to run Oracle, don’t ever run that on your host machine

as it is, you’re pretty lucky because in the old days Oracle would try to reinstall and totally screw up your machine anyway so you’re going to need to reinstall windows and then use a virtual machine and install oracles of that
