Java Runtime Environment - Update Question

Hi all.

Every now and again I get these Java update messages, which (if I choose to) in stall the latest JRE.
In the C:\Program Files\Java folder, I have:

One folder named: 'jre6'
Several named: 'jre1.60_' and then a number (01, 02, etc.)

I presume that the folders 'jre1.60_...' are previous versions. Can I delete these? It seems so but I'd like to be sure ;)

Thanks

Mark

I wouldn't recommend deleting any program files/folders directly, but if you want to clean them up use Add/Remove Programs (or Programs and Features if vista/7 ) and uninstall the java updates(except for the latest of course). I've done this before and it will remove those folders and leave the latest installation of java intact.
