Java TM Runtime

May 2, 2007 10:06 PM from

I seem to have over 400 megs of Java TM SE Environment 6, Environment 6.1 update, on my drive... Can anyone tell me why I would need any of this stuff of my machine?

Java Runtime is required for some web sites. For example, an online game site called POGO.com requires Java to run the games. Why you have over 400 mb of it, I don't know. The runtime I have from Sun Java is 139 mb. Seems like when your runtime was updated, it did not overwrite the version you had.

Thank you jazzymjr, I just deleted it all, some 428 megs, as you stated, probably didn't overwrite on updating. I guess if I need it in the future, I can download it again...

You're welcome madison. Yes, if it is needed, you will be prompted to download it again.

Should always uninstall a previous version before installing the new one.
