It's not necessary in either case.
Is there a downside to doing this? also can i do this to previous java versions and other programs?

I wouldn't uninstall any Service Packs.
If you're having problems with Java and other programs then that is one method, uninstall then reinstall, but again, you don't say why you need to do this.
