Duplicate / 2 Versions of : Pages and Numbers
Hi.
Maybe after the last macOS update, I find duplicate / 2 Versions of : Pages and Numbers.
How to delete one of each application without delete my data ?
Thanks.

Apple's intent, once you have downloaded the newer Pages v15.1.1 and Numbers v15.1 is that the older version 14 applications should be removed as they will no longer receive updates in the future. A dialog even appears suggesting that removal.
I have not encountered any two-way document incompatibility with documents opened in these newer applications, or created in them and opened in older versions.
The new applications do not impose any subscription to Apple Creator Studio, though do have a means to subscribe as an in-app purchase from the respective application menu. There are purple decorated features in the new applications that are restricted from use without that subscription, and personally, I have not subscribed.
As long as the older version 14 applications remain, they will be the default opening applications with a double-click on a Pages document, or via the Finder Open With panel. I removed the older version 14 applications, though do have them on a Time Machine backup. They are no longer available from the Mac App Store now.
Yup you are right
Not duplicate per se
One version each of the two applications is probably version 14.5
While the Other is probably version 15.1.
The 15.1 versions are associated with Apple Creator Studio
To remove the Older 14.5 version
Go to Applications folder
⌘ I (eye) Click one of the two Pages / Numbers application
If is shows like in image below
Leave it alone
Choose the Other Numbers / Pages application
CONTROL click it should present a Sub Menu
Move to Trash / Bin
Empty the Trash / Bin
Like yourself @ VikingOSX, I too removed the Older Versions
Question and maybe you can help me here "
When I open the Apple Apps Store >> my Account at bottom left >>
I do see as per screen shot, what applears to be the Older Versions still able to download ?
Not that I have tried this, but just wondering
New versions were just released, but the new versions have paid options for additional features so Apple left the old versions on your Mac.
Thank you All.
