[SOLVED] How to completely uninstall Java

waterquarks · 2017-10-27 21:02:10

Hi,
I recently installed Java 9, but it has been causing too much trouble, so I want to completely wipe it out.
I've tried:

yaourt -Rsn java-runtime
yaourt -Rsn java-runtime-common
yaourt -Rsn jr9-openjdk-headless
yaourt -Rsn jr9-openjdk-headless
yaourt -Rsn jre9-openjdk

But all of them give me something like this:

 :: jre9-openjdk-headless: removing java-runtime-common breaks dependency 'java-runtime-common>=3'

Or a flat:

error: target not found: java-runtime

How can I remove it completely, so it doesn't cause any trouble when I install Java 8?
Thanks in advance!

pacman is your package manager, not yaourt.
