I've Googled it and searched a lot but didn't found specifically targeted question in this way. So I really don't want Java. I want to get rid of it. When seeing it in Software Updater, it seems packed in Restricted Extras and is not showing as separate installed. I want to keep all others but uninstall this one. Please help. I'm using Xubuntu 13.10. and updated it completely.

Go to the terminal by Ctrl+Alt+t and wirte

java -version

it will tell you which java and version you are using then if you have open jdk then write

sudo apt-get purge openjdk

it will remove openJDK from your computer, else leave your java -version output..

  • It told me like this:

    The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:

    • default-jre
    • gcj-4.6-jre-headless
    • gcj-4.7-jre-headless
    • openjdk-7-jre-headless
    • openjdk-6-jre-headless

    Try: sudo apt-get install

    Now there are gcj and openjdk. Should I continue with your solution? BTW Thanks for the reply.

  • that simply means java is not been installed yet.. – Sukupa91 Nov 17 '13 at 06:28
  • and java is not even packaged in Ubuntu-restricted-extras.. – Sukupa91 Nov 17 '13 at 06:29
  • How come? In Restricted Extras it is written that it has mp3, mpeg, Java, Flash etc. things. Then how Java is not there? There must be some mistake. – rainlover Nov 17 '13 at 06:35
