That would be a bad thing to do. You will need to remove them in Add/Remove Programs.

 

It is safe to uninstall all older versions, leave the newest version installed.

 

This should free up a lot of space, if you have several versions installed.

Why not? The new version of Java have already overwrote the old registry items and files in the windows directorie, so I don't see why it's not wise to add this to CCleaner, it can safe a lot of time.

Because since it has an uninstaller, it would still be listed in Add/Remove Programs, and plus they have a lot of registry settings.

Actually Java installs its self in directories named after the version and leaves the old one excatly were it was. The Same Goes for the registry entries.

This is something that Sun should fix - ask the installer (person) if s/he needs to keep old versions, and if not, uninstall them.

 

There are very few people who actually do need multiple versions of the JRE, as all functionality is present in the newest JRE releases. (But there are some faulty application that depend on old 1.3 or 1.4 versions to function properly.)
