pycharm-community: old versions not removed when upgrading about chocolatey-packages

[aminya]

I have the same problem with Clion! Is there any progress on this?

This has been fixed in git. However this will take two new packages (starting from now) before this will work, until then, please uninstall previous versions manually.

Note: the commits have been submitted after the pycharm* package releases for 202.2.3

However this will take two new packages (starting from now)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this sentence, but I just updated to 2020.3 from 2020.2.3 using cup all -y and version 2020.2.3 is not removed.
Looking at the chocolatey version history I see that 2020.3 is the third package after 2020.2.3.
Or is that expected and should an update of 2020.3 result in its removal?

@ba-tno did you see anything in the log files regarding multiple found versions, it will only remove one older version to be sure it does not remove too much...

I did not see anything in the log about multiple found version, I only had 2020.2.3 installed. This is the log excerpt surrounding the pycharm uninstall:

I've now uninstalled it manually, so no real issue there, but thought I would indicate that this issue still seems to exist.
Let me know if you need additional logs.

@ba-tno based on that output you still had an old version of the chocolateyBeforeModify.ps1 file installed It should be working on your machine when the next release of pycharm-community is released.
