I started a fresh project from https://start.spring.io/ and chose java 16 as a Framework. This is my build.gradle:
I have worked with java 11 and spring boot before so I had Java 11 installed.(I use IntelliJ as my Editor)
In order to start my new project, I upgraded my Java version and updated my Path/Java HOME:
I checked my java version:
And I tried a gradle clean/assemble.
Despite doing this, I still get this error when I launch my project:

Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class com.wegner.uniteplus.uniteplus_backend.UniteplusBackendApplication
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/wegner/uniteplus/uniteplus_backend/UniteplusBackendApplication has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 60.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0
It seems that spring is still using my old java version. How can I fix this?

Answer
Change the javaversion used by Intellij by doing this:
Go to File > Project Structure and then under Project Settings > Project you will find the option to change your Projects Java Version (If you have other versions installed that is).
