Java update files removal
My explorer shows a number of these:
C:\\Program Files\Java\jrel.6.0.03 -- and a bunch with lower numbers
I assume these are the same which show in Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs:
Java(TM) 6 update 3 -- also others with lower numbers
Also: J2SE Runtime Environment 5 update 10; 5 update 11, 6 update 1 -- and so on.
Question: Can these be deleted? Should I keep only the latest ones?

I don't see why these things don't remove themselves when a new one comes along. Same remark about Microsoft's "NtUninstall", some of which are faily large. -- Norma

Also - if you are using older apps that have a dependancy on Enviro 5 - and you remove them - the java in the app may not work...
