Is it safe to delete Java folders from C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java
Solution 1
Yes, if you've already uninstalled them, this is safe to do.
Also, you may find Oracle's Java Uninstall Tool helpful.
Solution 2
Based on the this bug report, I removed the files in C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java
after installation. Java continued to work as it should. It became impossible to remove, using Add/Remove Programs, any version whose files I had deleted.
It seems that these files are only kept around for uninstallation. Java Uninstall Tool mentioned in Jason's answer probably alleviates the need to keep those files around.

I am using a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I have many folders in
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java
with names of older Java versions like:jdk1.7.0_21_x64
jre1.7.0_45
jre1.7.0_25
These folders contain
.msi
and.cab
files. I have uninstalled all older versions of Java but these folders are still in that location.Do I need those? Or is it safe to delete?
