startup mount restrict exclusive;
drop database;
…is pretty a effective way to whack all the data and log files for a given
database, too.

Why are you against bringing up the DB and dropping it? If I were do drop the
files manually, I would take precautions before doing so (making sure the files
are not in use, moving them to another location first to make sure nothing
breaks, etc...)

Just the database. I was going to leave the 10g home. So can I just delete
the files?

If you're talking database and not Oracle home, then I'd want to be sure that
the 10g files are not now being used in your 11g database. We don't know
enough from what you've given except to say "don't" until you're sure. Then
simple erase of appropriate files or DBCA should do the trick. If you use ASM
or RAC, I plead ignorance.
If you're talking the 10g home, and nothing else uses the home (other
databases, a listener), then I'd use OUI to remove it, so that the oraInventory
is kept accurate
Cheers, Wayne

We installed 11g on our 10g production server. We are now running 11g. Can I
just delete the physical files from the 10g database?
Would there be any reason to fire up 10g and drop it? Especially since we
won’t ever fire it up again?
