How to upgrade portable software?
Should I extract the new version in the same folder i.e old version folder or have to start fresh i.e delete the old version?

:Facepalm: So do i. PortableApps has built-in updater which notifies you of new updates and installs them. No hassle,easy and fast.

PortableApps doesn't have all the portable software. Or do you mean PortableApps & its updater can be used to upgrade any portable software?

Visit the developers website for new releases, or check if the application has a built-in updater.

Replace the oldapp.exe with newapp.exe, but to retain settings don't replace any settings.ini files.

Since I use CCleaner Portable, I extract and replace the CCleaner64.exe , but everything else gets deleted.
