Quite a lot of HD space for PyCharm CE

Hello, I was trying to free up some space on my (small) HD. I noticed that PyCharm CE is using more or less 3GB (in my user folder only) on my Windows 10 Pro notebook:

Does the app, corresponding to the Community Edition, really need all that space? Can I delete some files?

Maybe this is caused by the updates from 2020.2 to.3, then to 2021.1. Since recreating the configuration takes time, I would rather not just 'try' so... what if I uninstall PyCharm CE and reinstall directly version 2021.1? Would I save some GBs?

Thanks.

Hello, 

 

If the current version you are running is 2021.1 , then I believe PyCharmCE2020.3, PyCharmCE2020.2 and IdealC2021.1 - directories can be safely removed. Configurations of the previous versions are not deleted during the update automatically. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
