how to uninstall .jar file

[cyh781s]

recently i installed bluej in my red hat 8. but then I installed it under root so i cannot use it in my $/home/cyh781s.
i try to reinstall it again just to cover the old one but still, i cannot install it under $home/cyh781s, i have to install it under root.

is there anyway that i can uninstall the whole bluej.jar file?

all i know is how to install it but don't know how to remove or uninstall it.

thanks

You should be able to just delete the thing. Since .jar files are only used at compile and runtime, deleting it should do the trick. You also might want to check your PATH to see if the installation added an entry pointing to the .jar file. If you installed bluej as root, you might have to be root to delete it .

if you mean the "rm" command for deletion, then i have tried to use it to remove the bluej file several times but wouldn't work.

and yes i did the rm command as root.

I tried #rm bluej or #rm *, but everytime it asked me to comfirm for deletion for every single file, then after finally finished, i checked the bluej, it is still there .

how do i delete or remove the whole file bluej in /usr/local/bluej?

thanks again
