    Most users will keep multiple versions on their PC without any difficulty. Since I have an older DAW I have X1, X2 and X3 on my current machine. Sometimes there are good reasons to keep old versions - old project compatibility, sometimes (as in X3 with V-Vocal and R-Mix) the new version doesn't have a plugin etc that was installed by an older version. You can of course delete the old versions, but if you do you should be sure that there is nothing there that you need to go back to, or a feature that you are inadvertently limiting yourself from using. (keeping old versions is a safer option normally, IMO).

    My suggestion is always:

    Don't fully get rid of the previous software in the event that you need to open a project within that version for some reason or another. Once you feel comfortable in the new version then go ahead and remove previous version from your computer.  Some think that they are doing their computer a favor on saving space by removing the previous versions but it's really not that big of a difference in size. So it's really your call.
