I can't recall what I did wrong but i have a folder named "usr/lib/java/jdk/1.8.0_45" that has a desktop for itself in it and all that, basicly an user for itself and all my pictures get saved in there and sometimes it messes with my downloads but I can't remove it in system settings/users. So could somebody please help me on removing it.

Am I right in thinking all your asking is how to remove this folder ? – Mark Kirby Nov 08 '15 at 13:53

I don't know what it has a user format for itself. That's just Java Dev Kit's lib folder. Do you want to delete the folder completely? – SarpSTA Nov 08 '15 at 14:03

If, based on your comment, all you want is that folder removed then, one simple command in a terminal
sudo rm /usr/lib/java/jdk/1.8.0_45
If the issue is deeper than that, you say it has its own user ???, first find the exact name of the user you want removed user like this
cut -d: -f1 /etc/passwd
Then remove it like this
sudo userdel username
Changing username for the user you want gone.

run
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/java/jdk/1.8.0_45
-r will delete files with the directory itself.

@A.B. you have written 1.9.0_45 instead of 1.8.0_45, i corrected it again – biozalp Nov 08 '15 at 15:36

now it just says that it can't be deleted because the directory is not empty – robi baricevic Nov 08 '15 at 15:36
