How to uninstall "Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 2" ?

Hello all!
Since the above mentioned Java Update one certain Application I need to use, does not work anymore. Hence I would like to uninstall the Java Update. Does anyone know how to do that?

I would appreciate a simple and easy instruction to follow since I am just a User and I do not have that much IT skill.
1000 Thx in advance for your help!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3), MacBook, iPod

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

If you didn't backup your data, you may still be able to use a backup to restore your condition to where it was following the same directions as downgrading the operating system:

In the future always backup your data before installing anything new*:

thx for your fast response!
Actually I have a TimeMachine BackUp of my Mac. Maybe you could tell me whether there is a certain folder which I need to restore? I would like to keep my user data and not restore the entire MAC back to some status prior the Java Update.
Thx again!
