Trimming stale/ obsolete files

Question

HI -After the "annual" (major version) updates to Photoshop (Windows), I am left with large folders in my .../AppData/Adobe folder such as Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Adobe Photoshop 2022.  Can these folders be safely deleted?  Not sure why they are not deleted when the installation of the new version removes the old program versions.

"Not sure why they are not deleted when the installation of the new version removes the old program versions."

I believe those files are left because you may want to copy/paste something like third party plugin to new version or for safety to retrieve something accidentally lost between versions.
