Java SE 6 on El Capitan

I want to uninstall a 2016 version of Java to replace it by the 2014 version (Java SE 6) on a mid2010 MacBook Pro with a Mac OS 10.11.6 - try several things (going to Terminal among them) but none worked.

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Going back to an older version of Java Ok here's the scenario. I made a disk partion and installed el Captain OS on my mac mini. I did it to run Photoshop CS5. Everything went well until I tried to open CS5 and it stated that i need to run Java SE 6. I went to the Java Page and downloaded the new Java update and was still presented with the pop up saying I needed to run legacy Java 6. I found the old Java download and tried all the steps I found online to uninstall Java. I still get this error when I try to install Is there any way around this? Java installer tool from the site won't even show that I have Java of any sort installed .
