Well, in this case we are going to focus on an element that has been with us for years, but about which we do not know much, Java. This is a component that complements other applications and platforms in Windows , but that we do not always remove when we should. To give us an idea of what we are talking about, when we refer to Java we are actually dealing with a programming language that is decades old.
Therefore, today it is a platform that has been with us since and its importance is largely given because there are many applications and websites that do not work without the Java component installed.
It is more than likely that several times, when accessing a website, online service, or when executing a program, it tells us that we need Java. Otherwise we will not be able to make use of that utility that we are looking for at that moment.
This is something that is extended to all types of operating environments, both for end users and for servers or mobiles. Despite its popularity, this is a development environment that has fewer and fewer followers, but is still needed.
Although rare, some older Java applications won't run on newer Java releases. As such, it is possible to have more than one version of Java installed on your operating system. Generally speaking it should be safe to upgrade to the latest Java Runtime Environment JRE for your operating system, then uninstall previous releases using the " Java Uninstall Tool. As each JRE is installed on the machine, Java will prompt to install updates as they become available. Older updates are not cumulative and can be removed using the Java Uninstall Tool or manually by the user.
The Java Uninstall Tool will allow you to select which versions of Java and its updates you want to uninstall. Generally speaking, yes. It may be difficult to figure out which Java applications you have installed, as Windows does not list which programs are actually "Java applications". I need more questions.

I use this program to uninstall older versions of JAVA. It will leave the newest version. I just looked at their website. The program is still there for download if you want to give it a try.
Click on the latest Java version listed there and click on Uninstall. Technically, this is all you should have to do, but if you really want to get rid of every trace of Java, I recommend using a freeware app called JavaRa. Once you download it, just run the application. Just click on the Next button. The most important part of this program is Step 2. Here you want to click the Perform Removal Routine button, which will remove any leftover files, folders and Java registry entries.
Even after uninstalling Java using its own tools, JavaRa was able to remove 12 more items that were left behind. Unless you want to reinstall Java, just click Next and then click Finish on the next screen. Now Java is completely removed from your Windows system.
On Macs, everything is pretty much the same, except for the uninstall process. You can see whether Java is installed on your Mac in pretty much the same way as Windows. Just open up System Preferences and check to see if there is a Java icon at the bottom.
Also, just as in Windows, you can choose to keep Java installed, but disable it in Safari if you like. The first way is to click on the Java icon in System Preferences, which will open the Java Control Panel , which looks exactly like the one in Windows. Click on the Security tab and then uncheck the Enable Java content in browser box.
The other way is to disable Java in Safari directly. To do that, open Safari and then go to Preferences. Click on the Security tab and then click on the Plug-in Settings button at the very bottom next to Internet plug-ins.
