Is it safe to delete previous versions of IntelliJ?


I am facing an issue of recovering free disk space in my main partition. I found these files in my Users folder. These folders named as previous versions of IntelliJ allocate 1.5GB in my disk space. Is it safe to delete these files?

Solution

  • Yes, it's safe to delete these directories if you no longer use the specified IDE versions.

    Note that location of the IDE directories has changed since 2020.1 release.
