I am facing an issue of recovering free disk space in my main partition. I found these files in my Users folder. These folders named as previous versions of IntelliJ allocate 1.5GB in my disk space. Is it safe to delete these files?
Is it safe to delete previous versions of IntelliJ?

Yes, it's safe to delete these directories if you no longer use the specified IDE versions.
Note that location of the IDE directories has changed since 2020.1 release.
Not sure when it was added, but Intellij now has a feature in the UI to delete old directories.
This is great. Also removed leftovers that I did not find myself. And you get to choose what to keep. –
