https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/upgrade.html describes the changes
that are potentially disruptive. We try to keep it consise, it wil
never answer every potenial sysadmin question.

But to answer your question: you do not need to de-install before
upgrading. It that would have been the case, we would have mentioned
it in the upgrade guide.
