2020 and 2021 Programs Taking up Space?

[JapeCity]

Hey everyone. I am trying to clear some space on my HDD and noticed Premiere Pro and Media Encoder are taking up space (and a good amount of it) in both of their '20 and '21 installations. Is this a normal occurrence?

If you do not need a specific feature of an older version, such as an add-in that has not been updated for the new version, you may uninstall the old version

Yes, it's absolutely normal. It's recommended not to turn this off, unless you are both trusting and optimistic.

Each time there is an Adobe upgrade, some people have problems. In the worst cases, crashes. But sometimes it's a lost plug-in, or you can't find a button or function without doing some study.

Keeping the old version gives you the chance to test the new version, and always go back if you hit a problem.

Ok good to know and thank you both for the replies! This helps a lot!
