    click at that main jdk file in synaptic and choose mark for complete removal . it will all the things about the java .

    or search java in search box , it will shows all the java pkgs.

    but here also same Question , why do you wanna remove java ?

    most of the errors that i have encountered with java are path related , programs cannot find (or find an older,only) java compiler.
    in case the reinstall does not work, can you post the exact error msgs? run the app from the terminal.

    remove all the java files
