When uninstalling/reinstalling (which is what 5.1.2 does, in effect), I
do just that: after uninstalling, I then delete all folders (other than
the workspaces, for obvious reasons!).  Next, I clear the registry of
any entries that say WebSphere (I use RegEdit and hit F3 to search the
registry; generally, I leave the HKEY_CURRENT_CLASSES stuff alone).

Once the machine is cleaned, only then do I do an install.

Last time, just deleting the old folder worked - once I deleted it and
restarted WDSC, the update worked fine.  It took three days to figure
this out, though - IBM's suggested action was uninstall and reinstall.
