Before you remove java from your computer, let's still figure out what this programming language is, how and when it came about, and what functions it performs.
First of all, I’ll say that the official release date for java is May 23, 1995, and it’s customary to call it Sun Microsystems specialists. However, this company existed on its own quite a short time and was later acquired by the computer giant Oracle. What is this development good for? Well, mostly they prefer it because of the special bytecode, which ultimately allows you to work with any modern computer architecture.
Section 1. Features of writing and pronouncing java in Russian.
In most cases, if a beginner is dealing with this program and encounters any problems, he is forced to seek help from a specialist. And just then difficulties arise. What is it? Well, here, for example, you need to state the essence: “I can’t delete java!”, But how to pronounce the last word correctly so that the other person understands you correctly?
In fact, in the Russian language, both variants are equally common: both "Java" and "Java", they are considered equivalent. However, if we ask the opinion of the developers themselves, we will find out that they just recognize only the first option, i.e. "Java." But the second name for them is associated with the geographical name of the island of Java, located in Indonesia.
In addition, be prepared that they will ask you in return: “How to remove java, you say? Toad or something? " Yes, you heard right! In Russia, the word “toad” in the computer world refers to this particular programming language, and the name is so firmly rooted that advertising calendars, posters and even business cards began to be published with this image.
Often, users are also interested in the question of why a cup of steaming coffee is drawn on the java logo. Well, originally this language was invented for programming some electronic devices that were used in everyday life. A little later, he received the name "Java" in honor of the creator's favorite coffee variety, and only after some time the word "Java" turned into "Java", but nevertheless the emblem remained as a tribute to the fact that the language was originally created for programming everyday devices.
Section 2. How to remove java from the computer?
Most often, uninstalling the program is required if an older version of the program begins to prevent the upgrade or installation of a more modern one.
How to do it right? It all mainly depends on which operating system is installed on your computer.
Let us consider in more detail each of the options. Although I immediately note that the removal of java in most cases is no different from the removal of any other software.
- Windows 7 or Vista installed on the computer
Press the "Start" button located in the lower right corner of your screen, then go to the "Control Panel" and find the "Programs" menu. Are you done? Select "Programs and Features." In order to uninstall the required application, select it and click the "Delete" button. Keep in mind that in order to remove the program, you will need administrator rights.
- Windows XP is installed on the computer
As in the previous case, select "Start", "Control Panel" and then "Add or Remove Programs." The last window should display a list of all the software products that were once installed on the hard drive, one of which will be the Java we need. Have you found? Select and click "Delete."
Section 3. How to completely remove java if standard methods do not help?
Yes, sometimes it really happens that we do everything right, but the program gives an error and, therefore, remains on the computer.
Probably, many users have already heard about special programs that may be needed in this situation. The most common are the uninstallers Revo and RegOrganizer, but as it turned out during testing, none of them coped with the task. They simply did not recognize the application.
According to the official website, before uninstalling java (the older version, since there are no such problems with modern ones), download the free J2SE Runtime Environment or Java 2 Runtime Environment programs to your computer, they should definitely help.
