    Security people have been on Java about this for a while. Leaving the older versions on supposedly is a security risk, but the Java installs do not remove the older Java.

    It is rec to remove all but the latest, which on mine is version 6, update 1.

    I have removed the older Javas each time for the last few updates and have not had any problems.

    Yes you should uninstall the older ones.
