Answer 1

In my case (Windows 7 64-bit), I just did the following:

• Removed the reference to C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath; from the Path environment variable
• Removed files java, javaw and javaws from the C:\Windows\System32 folder

Afterwards, I closed all open command line consoles, reopened them and ran java -version.
