UNSOLVED
Java Program File
I updated to the latest Java (Version 6 update 3) and deleted the old versions. However, when I looked into the Program files for Java, I noticed that 2 of the previous version folders (Jrel 5.0_05 and Jrel 6.0_01) were not deleted. When I opened each folder, there was only 1 item left - folder named "lib". Apparently, add/remove did not delete them. But it deleted Jrel 6.0_02 completely.
It is okay to manually delete these folders - Jrel 5.0_05 and Jrel 6.0_01?

- tomron, as you say above, I updated first, then deleted the older versions. Will you please tell me the reason why older versions of Java should be removed first?So to delete the folders that add/remove did not remove , I just highlight the folder and hit the delete key, right?
- "the reason why older versions of Java should be removed first"According to this link." Important: Installing or updating Java adds a new JRE version; it does not remove existing versions. It is recommended that you remove older JRE versions from your system, as they may contain security vulnerabilities that allow access to your computer by untrusted applets."===================="highlight the folder and hit the delete key, right"Thats correct
