Java jdk path setting in windows

Question

I delete jdk\\bin path from environment variables path in windows but when ı write "java -version" in anywhere , it still returns true results . How ?

Answer 1

You can use the where command, to check which java application is executed when you run java -version

Is there an equivalent of 'which' on the Windows command line?

Answer 2

Just type where java in cmd console, and you'll get where it is. And as it shows, I think you need check this location(C:\\Windows\\System32) , when you instal java, Java exe files are copied to windows System32 folder, java.exe, javaw.exe and javaws.exe are available there.

Answer 3

Restart your system and try again. In case, it's still pointing after restart, please check the path variable correctly. Might be some referrence still exist in either system/user path variable and thus giving the result.
