I had pycharm community version installed on my laptop. version 2017.2. I installed it using the tar.gz archive from the official site. It's been working well. Then I downloaded the new version 2017.3 and my mistake was I launched pycharm.sh right from the "downloads" folder. I have read that I should have copied new version installation folder to the current pycharm installation folder and launch pycharm.sh from there as it's said here:
But I can't find now where my old 2017.2 version is installed. Shortcut on the desktop works and lunches 2017.2 version but not the 2017.3 version I have installed from the 'Downloads" folder. As I think I have two versions installed in the system now concurrently. Tell me please how to find where my old version of pycharm is installed?
Thanks in advance.

Pycharm Community Edition is installed in /opt/pycharm-community-2017.2.x/ where x is a number. You can uninstall it by removing the pycharm-community-2017.2.x directory and its contents recursively.
cd /opt/google/
ls # to show the exact name of the pycharm-community-2017.2* directory
sudo rm -r pycharm-community-2017.2*
