Administrative Console "Delete" and wsadmin "$AdminConfig remove" did not remove RAR binaries from "installedConnectors" directories of respective nodes.
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Administrative Console "Delete" and AdminConfig remove J2CResourceAdapter only clear the "config" folders and not "installedConnectors".
 
Cause
Until V6.0 there is no "uninstallResourceAdapter" option. We can only use the wsadmin "$AdminConfig remove" or Administrative Console "Delete" option.
 
Resolving the problem

V5.0
Administrative Console "Delete" ResourceAdapter and "AdminConfig remove J2CResourceAdapter" options did not remove the RAR binaries from "installedConnectors" of respective nodes. But it clears the install reference from the config files.
wsadmin:
set RAR [$AdminConfig getid /J2CResourceAdapter:myRAR/]
$AdminConfig remove $RAR
$AdminConfig save
This is the limitation of V5.0 and working as designed. Manually deleting the RAR binaries from "installedConnectors" of respective nodes is the only work around.

V6.0:
Same Administrative Console operation remove the operation binaries from "installedConnectors".

wsadmin:
From IBM® WebSphere® Application Server V6.0 "uninstallResourceAdapter" option is available for wsadmin. This takes care of "installedConnectors" directories of respective nodes.
