For those who are aware of the internet will also know what Java is. You probably may not know what Java really does, but you do know that your browser need Java installed on your computer so that you can play media files etc on it.

Java is nothing but a small application that you will have to download on your computer from its manufacturer’s website. The code which is the Java Programming language then interprets the information that is used by most applications and websites. It is imperative that you download the Java code if you want to enjoy media files and applications over the internet.

As we now know, Java is nothing but an application that is made up of a small code. The unfortunate part with this application is sometimes the code is corrupt. Reasons for the code to malfunction or go corrupt could be several like a virus attack or constant illegal shutdown of the browser etc. In this case the best way is to uninstall Java completely from your computer. Although uninstalling Java from your computer is easy and straightforward as most would claim, a few of us have faced a few issues.

The most common way to uninstall Java from your system is by using the Add/Remove Programs in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel.

  • Click Start
  • Select Settings
  • Select Control Panel
  • Double click the Add/Remove Programs control panel icon

A list of software on your system is then displayed in your Add/Remove control panel displays, which include Java software products installed on your computer. Choose the one you want to uninstall by clicking on it, and then click the Remove button.

If the above mentioned method does not work then your best choice would be to use the Perfect Uninstaller. This uninstaller can infact uninstall Java completely from your computer even if it has to forcibly remove it. The tool also makes sure that it removes Java registry files, drivers etc so that you have no remnants left behind. However when uninstalling Java make sure you do the Force Uninstall as this is a much more powerful option to remove the program.

  1. Run Perfect Uninstaller.
  2. Find the folder directly in the hard drives where you locate Java such as C:Program FilesJava.
  3. Right click the folder and choose “Force Uninstall”.

(Note: If the right click menu does not work-click menu, please firstly launch Perfect Uninstaller from Start->All programs->Perfect Uninstaller->Perfect Uninstaller; choose Options from the main panel. In the General Settings, tick up Right-click to Force Uninstall.)

4. Click Next and Perfect Uninstaller will find all associated entries in the registry and drives.

5. Continue with the steps as displayed on the screen and the uninstall will be complete
