    Hi everyone. Do i need both VS Community & VS 2019 installed? Will i miss out on anything by deleting
    VS 2019? From my understanding, Community is installed with unity, correct? I'm running low on storage and VS 2019 is massive. Thanks for any response.

    All I use is VS Community. I don't know of any reason you'd need both.

    VS Community is also VS 2019. Technically it's VS 2019 Community.
    If you are asking about VS 2017 vs 2019, I would go with 2019 and only select to install stuff for Unity. Just my preference, I find 2019 is faster than 2017 and better designed. Otherwise, you only need to install 1 version of VS.

    When you install VS 2019, it gives you options to install only what you need for Unity.

    There's no such thing as "VS Community" and "VS 2019".
    There is VS Community 2019 though. I'm not sure which other version you're meaning to comparing it to.

    Regardless, you only need one version of Visual Studio installed.

    It's a little confusing from the External Tools settings. See screenshot. There's 2 choices.

    I'm guessing it's an enterprise or pro version. Launch your Visual Studio Installer - it should show you which versions you have installed.

    Didn't see an enterprise version. Just gonna delete the non community version and see what happens.
    Thank you Vryken.
