Today, I downloaded the latest java jre which is a .bin file

By mistake, I installed it on my desktop by running ./jre. I want to remove this installation, move the .bin file to somewhere else and install it again

I tried sudo apt-get remove --purge jre gives

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Virtual packages like 'jre' can't be removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. 

Note: I can't use synaptic package manager, here's why, so I have to do everything from the terminal until the problem gets fixed.

The folder where the JRE is located is called jre.

Edit: @stew

just installed java jre

sudo echo 'deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all' >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 5CB26B26 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install update-sun-jre 

it's the latest version. so i just have now to remove the .bin file and the extracted jre folder, would your method still works?

and could you please tell me why to use open jdk over jre sir?

And by the way, where is the ideal folder to install software in it, on Linux? You install java or pretty much any software on windows in C:\program files.
