Stephen,

It is generally a good idea to remove the previous version before installing
a new one. Gnucash will generally overwrite any existing files of the same
name, but you may be left with unnecessary files in some cases. Going from
3.1 to 3.2 should be OK as there are unlikey to be major changes in the file
structure, but between major version could be problematical There are
instructions on the Wiki in the build instructions for Ubuntu 16.04 for
doing uninstalls in a variety of circumstances including manually deleting
all the files which will be the same for 18.04. I'll put a note in there re
uninstalling previous versionsbefore the build instructions to make it
clearer.

If you still have the 3.1 build directory:
 open a shell and cd to the build directory then type 
 sudo make uninstall

then do the install of V3.2

This uses a manifest created when Gnucash was installed to uninstall all of
the program files. It leaves user preference files untouched.

David
