If you're desperate to save space then you could remove java altogether and move to µtorrent instead.
I don't have java installed at all. Horrible crap, it is.

Java is a piece of shit, but sadly I use a couple applications which require it. If I could, I would remove ti from my computer.

well, you can uninstall everything and install the newest, then you will definitely have only one. other that that, i guess you can safely remove the two with version 5.

You can remove all four of them, since they are merely Updaters. you can update java manually.
I suggest you uninstall both (all) the versions you have and install the latest from sun java
(then remove the updater via msconfig or a startup controller)
having four things which do the same seems pretty useless to me.
Time to refresh.

edit: i did not read raspberry1331's post until after. and agree

An updater using 130+MB - don't be ridiculous. They are all distinct versions, but only the latest version will be active.

However, I agree about uninstalling all but the latest. It's a shame that Sun can't make a proper installer which replaces the old version instead of leaving all the old crap lying around.
