Old Java Versions

Hi, I have these two versions in my "Add or Remove Programs" list[ Java 6 update 7 & Java 6 update 13].I want to know whether I can remove the older one safely. Running Java Ra to remove older versions didn't help me.And also am not sure why this Java is on my computer.

 

Hi kestrel, Thank you. I just didn't try an uninstall from Add/Remove for I was not sure whether 6.7 is an older version or a different thing altogether. Anyway I'll remove it now from Add/Remove.

 

By the way, I believe you'll find you no longer accumulate multiple versions of Java when get future updates. I noticed when I got update 12 that it automatically removed the older version. This is a change from the way Java updates have worked in the past.

 

I uninstall Java with Revo first, then install the new Java update. The Java uninstaller leaves way too many registry and file items.

 

aravind, it is also possible that even if you correctly went through add/remove software that the older versions of Java did not get completely removed.
I also ran this tool http://majorgeeks.com/download5967.html
which finds the things still left. Note, it is safe to use. It will not remove the 1.6 build 13 but only all the older things that it finds.
