Using GIMP 2.10 and 3.0 on the same PC

If I'm not mistaken my Gimp location is at:
---➤> C:\Gimp-2.10.28_Portable_32-64bit-Win

Although I discovered two other folders that I don't know if I can delete them or not.  Huh

So here's another question:

Can the content I found in User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10 and in User/ AppData/ Local/ GIMP/ 2.10/ Crashlog be deleted?

In the first folder, only the folders: filters, internal-data and tool-options have some files. The others are empty.

In the second folder (crashLog), there are 103 files that go from 08/Sep/2022 to 08/Jul/2024.

For your samj portable Gimp 2.10 This is self contained, it does not use the regular User Profile in appdata so it is independent of any other Gimp installation.

You have a User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10 User Profile ? Then sometime in the past you have installed a regular Gimp 2.10 Do you still have that installed ? Do you still use it ? If not then delete it, regardless those Crashlog files can be deleted.

As far as I know Gimp 3.0 RC1 works the same as older versions on installation and tries to migrate resources from an existing Gimp 2.10 - any extra brushes patterns .. It might be the same as the linux flatpak Gimp and screws this up leading to a broken User Profile. Since this is a new install try, (1) rename the old Gimp 2.10 user profile, say User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 2.10-backup (2) Delete the Gimp 2.30 User profile User/ AppData/ Roaming/ GIMP/ 3.0 (3) Run Gimp 3.0 to create a new default User Profile. That that should contain all the folders and xxxxrc files.

Remember This is a development version released on the population to get a wider testing base.
