Hmm... IF installed, it should have shown up under Add/Remove Programs....

First, confirm you have java, at http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

it will either tell you the version of java you have installed, or else, prompt you about the need to download/install the plug-in.

If there and running, I'm not sure what to suggest next... if the UNinstaller is "missing"....

EDIT:   Sorry for the double post --- I was intending to edit the first one...

Do you recall the last time you updated Java or what version you are currently using? In Add/Remove it would be listed as any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.

You could also try this:
Download -- to your Desktop -- JavaRa.Windows Binary Zip from one of these sites:
http://www.raproducts.org
http://majorgeeks.com/PureRa_d6183.html or

http://raproducts.org/wordpress/software

• Unzip the download. This will create a new Folder, JavaRa on your Desktop.
• Double click this new Folder to open it, and double click the file within: JavaRa to execute the program.
• Click the button: Remove Older Versions.
• Agree to the cleanup operation by clicking Yes. After a moment, a notice will appear that a log file has been produced. Click OK. Close the Notepad view that opens.
• Click the button: Other Tasks.
• Choose these options:

Remove Useless JRE Files
Remove Startup Entry
Remove JavaRa Logfile

• Click Go. When it finishes, click OK to close the panel, and then Exit the program.
• Delete the download, and the unzipped folder and all contents.

Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications.
To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it:

* Go to Start-->Control Panel-->Java-->Advanced-->Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter.
* Click Ok and reboot your computer.

" I used ky331 information and found nothing on my computer that indicated I have Java installed.... I didn't have an "Java Quict Start"  Icon present". 

[By "Java Quick Start" icon, I'm assuming you meant "Java Control Panel" icon, which leads to the Java Quick Start option]

Both would seem to confirm you do not (currently) have Java installed on your machine.   The presence of a Java folder would therefore appear to be remnants (left-overs) from an earlier installation.   IF so, they should be safe to delete --- but you can wait for BB to confirm this.

Thanks ky331 and Bugbatter for your indepth response. I used ky331 information and found nothing on my computer that indicated I have Java installed. I followed Bugbatter procedure to try and clean up anything that it may find (by the way easy instruction to follow). The only thing that I didn't find after completion was, I did not have a JQS service listed in my control panel. I didn't have an "Java Quict Start"  Icon present. 

I did go to "Windows Explorer" under windows and found a Java folder in the folder were 2 folders named Classes and Packages. Inside the classes folder was file OSP Broderbound certicate Type. Inside the Packages folder were one data folder  and seven Zip files. I have no idea what these folders and files represent. Coud these folders be deleted or should I just leave them alone?

I don't believe I have Java on my computer , so I will leave it as is and see if any thing shows up. The dell forum is always very helpful. Thanks.

   The Java folders that you can delete are in your Program Files..
