Zorin has Flatpaks and Snaps too. I am not on Zorin now so I cannot check. Perhaps your Java is a Flatpak or Snap package?

If it shouldn't be a Snap or Flatpak like @C141ZorinOS wrote to You, maybe You should use Synaptic to search it. Open the Terminal and type sudo apt install synaptic and then open it and search for java.

i found java there but how do i delete it? it has many packages in it, it's not a package

You make a right-click on it. And there You have Options to delete it. There should be an Option to delete all depending Packages. That will mark the Packages. Then You look if some stuff is unmarked and then You mark that too.
