Duplicated Files??

[kayleegk]

So I recently updated to 2018 in After Effects and as some may know. It will automatically remove 2017 After Effects, but I decided I want to go back to 2017 so I re-installed it and I'm wondering if it will duplicate all my 2017 After Effects files > User Libraries, User Presets (ETC). I know that if this happens, a lot of complications will happen so can anyone help me?

Hello,

If you choose other versions menu from Adobe Creative Cloud tool, you can install CC 2017. When you install the latest version, you click Advanced option and turn off the option of Remove old versions before you click Update button. You can keep the old versions.

Well since you've already reinstalled it the quickest way to answer your own question would be to open it and see if everything got copied.  Or, if you're feeling crazy you could check the user library/preset/etc  folders.   Then you'll know the answer to: "Will the program I've already reinstalled duplicate all my 2017 After Effects files > User Libraries, User Presets (ETC)."
