Probably you don't want to do that.

When you install BIAB, you are given four options. Most of the time it's best to install the new version on top of the old. This way, you keep any songs, user-made styles, user-made User Tracks, etc. You also keep any bonus/Xtra Paks/Xtra styles that you may have purchased as a one-time offer with the older package.

So, before you do anything, please tell us more. Can you install to your internal drive (do you have enough space), or have you decided to run BIAB from the external USB drive?

If you decided to run from the USB drive, I might put in a recommendation to consider a compromise: install the program files to your hard drive, but point the RealTracks and RealDrums (which take up most of the space) to where they are on the USB drive.

If you do decide to delete BIAB 2016, tell us and we can help you copy over your songs and user styles etc.

Write back, give us more info, and we can help more.
