    Delete old Java 8 updates listings


    I have about twenty updates for Java 8 listed on my computer.

    May I safely delete all listed updates except the latest?

    Thank you.

    Welcome,

    Yes you may and should. Also, the latest versions/updates of JAVA will remove old versions during the install if you select that option.

When Java updates itself, why does it stack one after another each time. What I mean by that is, update 7 is 111MB and then update 8 is 111 MB, and so forth. After 21 of those, that will take up some storage! Why doesn't Java delete the old updates upon installing the new ones?
