Java - remove old versions AFTER the fact?

You can go to patch management (not the patch management wizard), select the update you want and in the drop down choose uninstall.  then just add all computers and voila.

Im at home here but if you need some screenshots or more clarification I can get pictures when im at work.

Thank you for the assistance.  Yes, screenshots would be helpful. I'm not sure where "patch management" is exactly.  Also I think I already deleted the old version of Java from Patch Manager.  Do I need to re-add it before I can tell it to uninstall it?

I think you need to publish it yes.  You dont need to approve it for anything though.

Find the update and click update management

Then click the update name and select uninstall from the dropdown

Then go to add computers with rules, add what you would like to uninstall on and youll be good to go.

Hi.  First,thank you for these instructions.  Second, I tried them for one computer just to test, and it failed.  I tried it for a different computer and it also failed.  Here is the error I received. 

As you can see from this image, this computer (named WIN7IE10QA5) has Java 8 Update 102 installed (as well as Java 8 Update 112).

Why do you think the update isn't applicable for uninstall?

No clue.  I honestly dont do this much, I just knew it existed as an option.  Maybe it wont do it because thats a metadata only package.  Maybe it wont do it because its detecting as the x86 for x64 version instead of the regular x86 even though they are the same package?  Maybe kellytice or someone can answer that.

When I initially cleaned up my Java installs I just did it with PSExec, a list of GUIDs, and a text file of all my PC names.  It was a huge pain in the butt though.
