无法从 MacBook Air M1 移除 Java 17

Question

I tried to remove Java using sudo rm -rf "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines" as mentioned on Oracle docs, still Java 17 is being shown to me, after uninstalling it from my system. Any pointer to remove Java from MacBook?

arvindsangwan@Arvinds-MacBook-Air ~ % java -version
    openjdk version "17.0.1" 2021-10-19
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.1+12-39)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.1+12-39, mixed mode, sharing)
    arvindsangwan@Arvinds-MacBook-Air ~ % cd /Library/Java                               
    arvindsangwan@Arvinds-MacBook-Air Java % ls
    arvindsangwan@Arvinds-MacBook-Air Java %

Steps I performed were from here: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_uninstall_java.html

1. In the Terminal window Copy, Paste and run the commands below (one by one):

    sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Oracle/Java

2. Then after successfully uninstalling Java, you may remove Java Deployment cache: In the Terminal window Copy and Paste the commands below:

    rm -r ~/"Library/Application Support/Oracle/Java"

3. then remove the jdk folder and it's content:

    sudo rm -r -f /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<"your_version">.jdk

4. then perform the holy computer restart .
