It seems you didn't try to search - neither in google nor in sap service marketplace.

Note 819829 - Oracle Instant Client Installation and Configuration on Unix

For Windows platforms, please refer to note 998004.

Hello,

Use rm command to remove or 'mv' to rename the old one.

For e.g. if you are going to execute the following link command for the new oracle client -

OS> ln -s instantclient_<release> instantclient

Then, you can remove the old client link first by, OS> rm instantclient_<old_release> or by renaming the old client directory - mv instantclient_<old_release> instantclient_<old_release>_date

Thanks
