Uninstall previous versions after upgrade?

Post by Dizzy Gee22 »

This is question is probably unnecessary. But I did research this topic in past posts on this forum and did not see an answer.
Is there any harm in uninstalling older versions of PSP?

I still have PSP 8, X3, and X8. (I have upgraded to Ult X9) thanks, -Dizzy Gee

If you have stored "after acquired" resources (e.g., scripts, presets, etc.,) in the same folders for those items in the installed program directory folders of the previous versions then they will be uninstalled along with those folders if you uninstall the previous versions.

There is really no reason to uninstall previous PSP versions unless you are actually short of storage/disc space. All versions exist well together, and if you find some issues with newer versions then you always have the previous version ready at hand to fall back on.
