can i delete old .PyCharm folders in my user directory

Question

While using pycharm and updating regularly i notice some ".PyCharm*" folders piling up in my my windows user directory, obviously one for every installed version.

I guess i only need the one of the recent version and can delete the older ones without problems?

thanks

Chris

.pycharmxx directory saves the IDE settings of the particular version of the IDE. So, yes it is safe to delete the older ones. A similar question has been answered in the jetbrains support forum.
