As I need to deal with the previous versions of Sencha, I am planning to remove the latest version of 'Sencha Cmd' on Mac 10.9.5. How can this be accomplished?

It installs under /Users/<username>/bin/Sencha/Cmd/<version>/ and doesn't remove previous versions from the Cmd directory - which by the sound of your post means you will likely still have your previous 5.x available.

Typically, the install adds the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file which you will want to double check and make sure that the version in the shell path matches the old version you wish to use: 

export SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/<username>/bin/Sencha/Cmd/5.x.x.x"
export PATH=/Users/<username>/bin/Sencha/Cmd/5.x.x.x:$PATH

That said, I noticed with Sencha 6 that a symbolic link named sencha was introduced in the ~/bin/Sencha/Cmd directory - presumably to avoid polluting your bash configuration in future versions. You may need to rename or remove this to avoid conflict.

Lastly re-source / restart your terminal window.

(I am using macOS 10.12.5, Sencha 6.2.2.36)

Run command

cd /Users/your_user_name/bin
rm -rf Sencha

Ladysign have written a blog about this. You can perfectly run two versions together:

Running multiple Cmd versions side by side

Something else I did. What you might consider to setup as well, especially in case you are developing Sencha Touch, Ext JS 6, and / or Ext JS 4 & 5 apps all together... Is making earlier Sencha Cmd versions available on the command -line.

When I type sencha5, I run Sencha Cmd 5 commands. When I type sencha, I run the latest Cmd 6 commands. That's because I bound these to the correct paths. You can do this too. It's very easy.

First of all make sure the paths to the earlier versions are in the .bash_profile / environment vars. (which you probably already did, since I wrote it above). Second, and the most important step, is renaming the sencha executable (located in the Cmd installation folder) to sencha5, sencha4 etc.
