    Does anybody know if it is safe to delete "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04" from my system? I installed Java when I installed Open Office, and then shortly after Java updated itself and created "jre1.6.0_07" in the \Java\ folder, they are both the same size and seem to contain the same stuff... so do I need to keep the old one, will deleteing it kill my java install?

    Thanks.

    After some googling it turns out old version of java don't uninstall themselves when you upgrade, so I removed the old one from add and remove programs and everything is fine, plus i have about 100mb of space back :lol:
