How to uninstall the Java in Ubuntu

We need java on our computers in our daily lives because there are lots of different applications that are developed using the java environment, so we have to install java on our computers to make the java-based application run without difficulty.

we need to remove the java from our computer, such as by updating the latest version of our java or freeing up space on our machine. Installing Java on Ubuntu is easy, but uninstalling it is hard to crack for many things.

When we are going to erase java from our device, then first we have to check to identify what type of java we are using on our PC. If we have installed java just to run the java applications, then it would be “Java Runtime Environment (JRE).” Or, if you have installed java for development purposes, then we may have these:

• JDK
• Oracle Java

The main difference between the “Open JDK” and “Oracle Java” is that it is open-source and it is license-based. Oracle Java is efficient when it comes to performance and stability.
