Hello,

After a Java update, I noticed a folder named ".oracle_jre_usage" has appeared on my PC.

Here is its path: "C:/Users/[USERNAME]/.oracle_jre_usage.

There are 6 items inside the folder, specifically 6 ".timestamp" files.

I uninstalled Java but this folder remains...

I wonder if I can delete this folder and if so, how please?

Thank you in advance for your responses!

It's just a file that stores certain information that can be accessed.
