Prevent multiple installed copies of IntelliJ IDE
I'm working in IT for a company who has users running IntelliJ IDE and so far every single one of them have 5, 10, even 20 different versions installed. It seems as though whenever the app updates - it just adds a new version. Because of these old versions, they're getting flagged by several of our vulnerability reports and it's a long process to remove 10 different versions. Vulnerabilities aside, each one takes up ~5GB of space. One user had 21 versions installed.
How can I prevent this from happening going forward?
