Deleting older and beta copies of C1

How do users delete older copies of Capture One and/or beta versions without losing recipes, etc?

Deleting these seems to delete output recipes, although workspaces seem ok.

I could restore the recipes from Time Machine, or I guess, make a copy of the Library folder before doing anything, but I hoping (probably naively) for a more seamless process.

Come on you experts - any suggestions?

TIA

  I've always simply moved them to the trash and never lost any recipe.

  Moving the app to the trash is all you need to do. Recipes are stored in a folder within Application Support (in your User Library), and preferences are stored in a .com file in your Preferences folder. You don't need to remove any of these AFAIK.
  
  BTW: my experience is that it's wise to have backup copies of your C1 App Support folder and preferences, especially if you're involved with beta testing.

  Ok.
  
  Thanks to you both.

  I've found that just downloading the latest version of whichever CO you're using replaces the previous version and so far I haven't encountered any problems.
