Hi I am an Oracle DBA and I want to delete everything owned byOracle on the AIX server.

What command would do that?

2 
find / -user oracle -delete

You need to have root access if the files are spread across different directories.

Thanks that worked. I appreciate your help!

4

when I use

find / -user oracle to list all the files the list is very long.

What is the command to desplay the first page and wait for me to press enter to go to second page. Something like what the more command does.

5

Try adding |more at the end of the command

I'm NOT an AIX user but you might try piping to "less":

find / -user oracle | less

You could also send your results to a text file:

find / -user oracle > oracleFiles.txt
