Java updates on my PC

Thread view: 
GorKoUSA@gmail.com - 21 Apr 2007 23:18 GMT
System drive on my PC is running low after most recent upgrade to Java
6.00
I noticed that under Java folder there is several sub folders with
earlier versions
jre1.5.0_04 to jre1.6.0_01, 60MB each.
I hope I can delete the earlier updates without harm to my system.

You should uninstall not delete.

Thanks,
How come they cumulate this way?
Do I need to do this after every update?

Software developers often want to have multiple Java versions on their
PC for build and test purposes.

Yes.

Is it possible redirect Java folder to a different location, bigger

If you do a manual install you can specify where it goes.

I don't know about automatic updates.
