Hello,

I would like to uninstall an older version of Java from some computers. Could you please tell me the procedure to follow?

I would also like to know why installing a new version of Java doesn't uninstall the previous version.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,

by default our Wapt package does not uninstall previous versions because some software sometimes requires a specific version of Java.

However, you can remove older versions with Wapt; you can find an example in the new documentation:
