1. For me, an update means that the old version is replaced by the new one, not that both versions remain on my computer. 

2. Since I have the latest version after update, I don't understand how having the previous version would be helpful. 

3. At this moment, the previous version not only doesn't help me, but also takes up unnecessary space.

4. Also, my simple desire is to have only the latest version after an update, not two versions.

My question is if this creates any practical issues for you regarding using the application. If you are only concerned about the space, just attempt a clean installation

1. For me, at the moment, having two versions after an update doesn't create any practical issues regarding using cTrader Desktop.

    However, this doesn't mean that it's normal or that I agree with having 2 versions or even multiple versions (such as 10), on my computer.

2. This topic is not about whether having two versions after an update creates any practical issues regarding using cTrader Desktop.

    I created this topic simply to receive a direct answer to the question 'Why does cTrader keep two versions after an update ?', specifically to understand the reasons behind this.

If you are only concerned about the space, just attempt a clean installation

3. I don't want to perform a clean installation every time there's an cTrader Desktop update. 

    I simply want to have a straightforward, clean update, meaning the old version should be replaced by the new one.

We will check but if it doesn't create any issues, it will be treated as a low priority.
