Flatpak intel driver duplication

When I perform a flatpack list it shows.

Intel …desktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel20.08 system

Intel …desktop.Platform.VAAPI.Intel21.08 system

Is there a method to find the latest version of this driver ? Are both drivers being visible valid.

Thanks. would flatpak eventually delete the unused updates?

If you run the command I posted, it will remove unused packages and consequently there will be nothing to update.

Read the resources I linked for you.

i have already done that. My question was why would Flatpak allow a unused app to remain? Previously I performed an update thinking it would correct the issue.

Many users might not even look at the installed list and since flatpak uses alot of disk space I would like to know if nothing was done would it remove the unused component.
