Deleting Older Version Of PSP

Post by RobNJ »

I just bought and installed the PSP Ultimate 2018. Is there any benefit to keeping x9 ? Is there any drawback to deleting?
Might seem like a silly question, but I don't want to press my luck.

All versions of PSP coexist fine so there is no reason to remove previous versions.

It's always good to have a previous version available in case a newer version turns out to have a bug or two that make it unusable for some specific function you might want to perform.

If you have placed resources (like third party or self-made scripts, presets, etc.) in the same folders that the PSP installation created for the included resources then you will lose those third party ones if you uninstall that PSP.
