How do I uninstall java from Mac High Sierra

I use Chrom and I can't find the app under applications. When I go to system pref there is a Java icon.

How do I remove the software?

Uninstalled Java but it still shows up in Terminal I had downloaded both the JDK 20.0.2 and the Java 8 Update 381 on my MacBook Pro M1 2020 version macOS Monterey 12.2.1 to run a program that required Java. However, I couldn't run it no matter what I tried as it kept saying "Unable to load Java Runtime Environment" - I even asked a question about it on the Community just a few hours ago. Then, I had the genius idea to uninstall all the java programs I have downloaded to start anew, thinking I had made a mistake while downloading it. I downloaded "Java Uninstaller" and indeed uninstalled it since I cannot see the java icon on my System Preferences anymore. However, when I typed "java --version" on the Terminal to see whether I really uninstalled Java or not, I saw this: java 20.0.2 2023-07-18 Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 20.0.2+9-78) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0.2+9-78, mixed mode, sharing) If I have indeed uninstalled Java, then why does it still pop up in my Terminal? How can I get rid of JDK 20? Would greatly appreciate any help.

I unsuccessfully tried to do so using Terminal and the following code: sudo rm -rf "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin" sudo rm -rf "/Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane" sudo rm -rf "~/Library/Application Support/Java" My Internet Plug-ins file has no Java folders or files. My PreferencePanes folder has no Java folders. My system has none of the three named Java files. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
