Java Uninstalling problem

[mahdialkahtib]

hello,
I have he deleted the Java files and folders which they are in the Program Files to reinstall it again...

but what I figured that I can uninstall from the "Uninstall or Change Program" list, even though I have deleted them from the programs files folder and restarted the machine the Java JDK is in the list.

I click to uninstall it, and it says in a message box called "Java(TM) 6 Update 20":
"Error 1723.There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

So what's the problem I need to Uninstall as soon as possible to install new one...
Thanks in advance.

thanks for replaying,
I had followed the link in the article, and in that article they said they removed the tool because it damages other files
so what do you think?

Well by default, Windows Installer Cleanup should be extracted to the following location:

C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Cleanup

When you open that folder, just click at the "msicuu" application, choose the Java entry and Remove. But do not touch any of the other things on the list such as MS Office because deleting them might cause you having to reinstall the programs they are associated with.
