Can I just delete my old Organizer Apps after I have used the PSE 2020 Organizer to create a new catalog?

Each version of Elements is separate and works independently. If Elements 2020 is working for you, you can remove prior versions to save space if you need to. However, some folk keep older versions on their computer because of features that have changed. For example, the slideshow in Elements 2019 and 2020 is completely different than earlier versions.

FYI!

I upgraded from PSE 14 to PSE 2019 last year. After a few weeks, I decided that I no longer needed PSE 14 so I deleted it using my Revo Uninstaller. There are obviously some common components between PSE 14 and PSE 2019 because after deleting PSE 14, PSE 2019 immediately stopped running and displayed error messages about a missing "Application Manager" program. The Help link on the error window was absolutely no help at all. It took almost a week of Googling for me to find an old forum link to the Application Manager download which fixed the problem.

Walter, your warning is well taken, but I believe what happened to you would not happen with using the Adobe uninstaller. It's because of situations like yours that I have stopped using Revo and other uninstall utilities or registry cleaners (unless I am desperate or extremely careful) - they are frequently over-inclusive in what they delete.
