Hi Ravenred,

See the article next to the Java Web site:

If you are unable to uninstall older versions, I would suggest contacting the Support of Java:

  • How do I uninstall the old version

    I have an older version of FF alongside FF10b, is it possible to run uninstall of the old version without affecting the settings of the current version? The software is in different directories, but I think they both access the same profile under AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Or do I have to manually delete the old version.

    See this - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox

    But do not use the option to remove my Firefox data and user settings - which would be to remove your profile Firefox or profiles if you have more than one.

  • How can I solve this problem of 'Two versions of Adobe', then only the most recent version remains activated, the old version remains DISABLED, and/or uninstall the old version?

    I went to my addons tab, and I have, in fact, have two versions of shockwave flash, a 11.9... version and a 13.9, which, if I'm not wrong, is the latest version. There is a 'request to activate, activate always, never activate' button for EACH module. I clicked on never turn on the old version and the closed tab. I then tried to play a video on the Web. He would not play, I tried another site with the same result, so I went back to my tab add-on, and the button for the old version had changed again to "always enable" in itself. He continues to repeat this, and WILL NOT stay on "never activate. Whenever I return to the page complementary modules, THE NEW VERSION IS DISABLED, SO THAT THE OLD ONE. I tried to uninstall the old version, but when I go into Control Panel and make the contents of the file, the old version is not yet there. I did start, search and typed in "Adobe", and the old version is NOT FOUND! The two versions to change back the turn on button and they both will disable themselves, no matter how many times I fix it! SMH!

    No worries, I was just starting.

    The Flash plugin is stored in this folder:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    

    The filenames for the plugin in Firefox have this model:

    NPSWF32_13_0_0_206.dll
    

    where the middle part (not in bold) is the version number of the plugin.

    Update from Adobe should normally remove older versions, but if they are actively used, it is possible that the update is not able to remove them.

    If you find the file, try to delete or move the temporary office.

    Firefox may not immediately realize that the file has disappeared, but hopefully that will detect only after the next time you're out and start it back up when it updates its scan plugins.

    A little luck?

    Hi, all I have installed the two JDK 1.7 update 21 (1.7.0.210) and 51 (1.7.0.510), and so I wonder what I need to uninstall the old version of JDK 1.7 update 21, as they both appear in the list of "programs and features" in Windows. Secondly, I tried Java Uninstall Tool, it does state that "there is no old versions of Java on your computer. So I'm wondering can I just use "programs and features" it manually uninstall any version of Java, if I need to.

  • Do I need to uninstall the old version 5.7

    After installing version 6 do I need to uninstall the old version 5.7. After installation, I imported the photos of a job and realized that they had imported 5.7 installation.

    Hi Pete,.

    Lightroom 5 & 6/CC times are individual applications and can be installed at the same time, unless you don't need them.

    So, in short, the answer is Yes, you can uninstall the old version where you don't need.

    See you soon!
