An easier way would be:

unlock icon in launcher

unpack the new version to whatever location you liked

sh /bin/phpstorm.sh

when asked if you want to use old setting and you so desire point phpstorm to the old .phpstorm directory

go to Tools menu on PhpStorm and select Create Desktop Entry... from drop down

when asked if you want to over write former desktop entry accept and your done.

re-lock your icon again
