54096 2002-06-12 23:27:00 Yesterday I installed Oracle8i personal edition downloaded from Oracle website. I had only 1.34Gb free space. Insallation(minimal) finished successfuly.But when I tried to copy the database files the message I received not enough disk space.
This software is only for learning SQLplus statements. So I decided to uninstall and reinstall again with custom install.
The problem is after I uninstalled,disk has only 725 MB free space.I tried to find manually the files been stored and delete,but I couldn't find. I searched in C,Windows,Programfiles,System directories.
I am using Winows98 (First).
Please advise me how can I recover the lost disk space.
Thank You!

Still, I can remember good software coming on 1 or 2 360k floppies. A *big* package used three. Does the software work any better now?

My Recycle bin is empty.
I mentioned about I have uninstalled the software. To reinstall, I don't have enough disk space
