Answer 1

Incase if pycharm is installed using snap package then you could remove it by running following commands:

sudo snap remove [pycharm-professional|pycharm-community]
rm -rf ~/.PyCharm2017.3
rm -rf ~/.java/.userPrefs/jetbrains/pycharm/

replace .PyCharm2017.3 with your installed version.

Answer 6

Maybe, is a little convenience to leave this hidden file for update "major" installation: for example, since PyCharm Community Edition 2.4 to 2.6, I found this in home directory: PyCharmCE2018.2; the installer suggests use (default) or ignore.
