Question

why do I have two lightrooms

I have two LR installed on my computer.  I guess I had LR5 before I joined the CC nation but tried out the trial version of it.  The trial version upgraded my LR5 with the latest items like HDR, pano, and dehazing.  Then I decided to join the CC permanently but now I have two LR's.  One of the LR's has the new edit features but the other LR has the ability to link to my mobile devices.  How can I use One LR for all practical purposes?  Do I delete them both and re-install the latest Ap version?

    Lightroom CC includes all versions of Lightroom 5.

    Please refer: http://www.adobe.com/sea/products/photoshop-lightroom/versions.html

    So you can uninstall Lightroom 5.

    Let us know in case you face challenges.

    Hi...I have not done this yet.  I guess it will be best to save any photos that I have worked on ... will I need to re-link / sync my phone app ... uninstall and reinstall LR on my phone too?

    You can uninstall apps as instructed here:

    After uninstalling all CC apps , if you wish to remove the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App, please follow these instructions:
