Should I get rid of the Java folder?
So I read on the Web page The Safe Mac (http://www.reedcorner.net) that Java is a problem and it is best to get rid of it. I followed the advice to unchecked "enable Java"
(on my Safari version it's "Allow java" but it's probably the same thing).
But is that enough? That's for Safari, thus Web surfing. How about the Java folder in Mac Pro-->Library?
It has 3 folders. Two are empty ("Extensions" and "JavaVirtualMachines") but the "Home" folder has 5 folders and each has a lot of subfolders with 44 to 67 items each.
There must be 200 items or more there.
Should I leave it alone?

After reading some articles, I made a search on my computer (Finder-->Find) for "JavaAppletPlugin.plugin" and nothing appeared.
Also Java is not present in my System Preferences.
