Should I uninstall the Java updates on my computer?

February 27th, 2009 · 2 Comments

I am uninstalling unnecessary items on my "Add/Remove Programs" to free up memory on my computer. I see a lot of "Java Updates" that are using a lot of memory, and while I do need Java, I don't know if I need all these "updates". Is it okay to uninstall any of these items?:
"Java(TM) 6 Update 7 Size 114.00MB"
"Java(TM) 6 Update 5 Size 114.00MB"
"Java(TM) 6 Update 3 Size 111.00MB"
"Java(TM) 6 Update 11 Size 90.49MB"

      I would suggest not. These java updates enhance performance and are required for some newer java programs. I would suggest ONLY uninstalling them if you are going to run out of disc space.

      According to Sun, it's OK to uninstall older versions, unless you have an applet/application that depends on a specific version.
