As I update my Apps for instance, when I moved from Photoshop 2020 to Photoshop 2021, PS 2020 is left on my computer

 

Do I need them? Or, can I remove them?

    You can uninstall them without affecting the new version.

     

    Open the Creative Cloud Desktop app to do it, and while you're in there you might want to go into Preferences > Apps > Advanced options (for each program) and check "Remove older versions".

     

    Most people want to keep the older versions around if they have space in case the newer one has bugs that interfere with getting work done or if they have multiple clients who might use the older versions.

     

    Meantime, I am moving this post to the Creative Cloud Services forum, which is the more appropriate location.
