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 <selected package> Now there are gcj and openjdk. Should I continue with your solution? BTW Thanks for the reply. Nov 17, 2013 at 6:25

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. Nov 17, 2013 at 6:35
