should i delete .AndroidStudio1.2 folder now

I see these folders in my username file and wonder if i could delete two of them:

.AndroidStudio1.2 

.AndroidStudio1.3 

.AndroidStudioPreview1.3

The StudioPreviewpreview1.3 takes 1.3 G of storage and the Studio1.2 takes 773 MB of storage. I'd like to know if any of these folders do anything now. I'm getting messages there's an even newer version available.

They can be deleted at any time and Android Studio will still be runnable, but previous settings may be lost. As long as you selected "import previous settings" when updating Android Studio, deleting folders from older versions will do no harm at all.

YES, you can delete them! They are old config files. When you install the new version it asks you if you want to import old config or not. No matter the answer these folders remain. Don't delete the .android folder since that contains the AVDs.

To make sure that Android Studio is not using this you can check the last modified date on some of the files and directories.
