I tried removing multiple occurrences of characters from a string and keep only one occurrence using recursion.

e.g. Input:- RAMA, Output:- RAM i.e It removed only second occurrence of char ‘A’ and printed ‘RAM’.
I am getting stuck at calling recursive function ‘remove’ with stack values as it is always being called with same value ‘A’. Please review once.

Here is the code which I tried.

class RecursionRemoveDuplicatesFromString {
    String newStr="";
    String subs = "";
    String remvDupl = "";
    int i = 0;
    int j = 0;
    int count = 0;
    String removeDuplicates(String toSubs){
        //String toSubs = s;
        if(toSubs.length()==1){
            return toSubs;
        }
        
        if(i <= toSubs.length()-2){
            subs = toSubs.substring(i,i+1);
        }else{
            subs = toSubs.substring(i);
            return subs;
        }
        //String subs = i <= toSubs.length()-2 ? toSubs.substring(i,i+1) : return toSubs.substring(i,i+1);
        i++;
        System.out.println(subs);
        removeDuplicates(toSubs);
        //System.out.println(subs);
        remove(toSubs,subs);
        return newStr;
    }
    void remove(String s, String subs){
        if(s.length()==1){
            return;
        }
        while(j<s.length()){

            if(j <= s.length()-2){
                remvDupl = s.substring(j,j+1);
            }else{
                remvDupl = s.substring(j);
                //return remvDupl;
            }
            //String remvDupl = j < s.length()-2 ? s.substring(j,j+1) : "";
            if(remvDupl.equalsIgnoreCase(subs)){
                count += 1;
                //newStr += subs;
                if(count==1){
                    newStr += subs;
                }
            }
            j++;
    }
        //remove(s, remvDupl);
        count = 0;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String s = "RAMA";
        
        RecursionRemoveDuplicatesFromString remvDupli = new RecursionRemoveDuplicatesFromString();
        System.out.println(remvDupli.removeDuplicates(s));
        
    }
}
