So I installed After Effects two months ago and just yesterday I updated the app when I noticed a 3 gig difference on my C Drive. When I went to the list of installed programs I noticed two versions of After Effects, a 2018 version and a 2019 version. Do I now have two versions of After Effects and if so, can I just uninstall the 2018 version whilst keeping and not affecting the 2019?

Another good reason to keep older versions is to ensure compatibility with 3rd party tools. Occasionally, a new version of AE may result in 3rd party tools losing compatibility with the newer version of AE. I'm facing this issue right now with a project created in AE CC 2017 about three years ago.

Yes, when click update from CC2018 to CC1019 the old version will stay on you PC until you remove it, so you can test the CC2019 and if you think you don't need the old version you can simply uninstalled, anyway there are a small check box you can clicked to delete the old version after update
