The K3 Utility does not discard old revisions of firmware. It leaves them in place. But it does use only rhe latest revision found in the firmware folder.
You shouldn't really need a new folder every time unless you prefer to. Nothing is overwritten except the firmware release notes and the little file that describes the K3 Utulity version itself. Thar file is used to inform you of née J3 Utility versions.
