Oracle, Java's developer, offers an uninstallation tool at...

http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstallapplet.jsp

I uninstalled it ages ago so when I run the uninstaller it doesn't find any
information so wants me to install the latest Java, which I don't do.
However, from the Start menu, running a search on the word java still finds
lots of instances (notwithstanding that some of them of course relate to
Javascript).

I tried running my usual uninstaller applcation, Iobit & it didn't find any
reference to Java so I must have successfully removed the main bits.
