Is the Editor version folder supposed to be in the Project folder?

Hey there Unity community - question regarding where the project version should be stored.

My partner and I work together in a project that is stored on Dropbox. Recently, I was making a copy and was surprised to see that my project folder size was almost 10 gigs!

So looking in my Project folder I found two versions of Unity inside the project folder.

It looks a little like this:

/Project
//2019.3.15f1
//Assets
//Library
etc etc.

That 2019.3.15f1 is the editor version. Is it normal and required to be there? I don’t seem to remember this being the case in previous versions, but maybe I’m mistaken.

Any ideas?

No, it shouldn’t be there. Sounds like one of you guys went to install a new version of Unity via Unity Hub, and chose to install it inside your project directory instead of somewhere like C:\Programs Files\Unity Hub, or wherever you tend to install your Unity versions. Or perhaps you chose to locate your project at the default location where Unity Hub places the editor files.

Anyway, if it’s really the editor stuff in there, I’d remove it via Unity Hub, then reinstall Unity via Unity hub, but put it somewhere else.
