| 650054 | 2008-03-16 23:29:00 | A previous thread got me thinking about the need to retain old Java updates etc. In my Add/Remove list I have the following: JSE Runtime Environment 5.0 Updates 4/6/8/9/10/11 Java(TM) 6 Updates 2/3/5 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1 Which of these, if any, can I remove, as they occupy a large amount of disk space? |

Just be careful that some application has not put one of them on there and is not referring to it via a hard coded path, have been caught out by it myself. |
