M1 Mac - PyCharm - Unable to run on arm64

It appears I'm unable to run the arm64 architecture in PyCharm and I don't understand why. I would really like to learn what I'm doing wrong.

Specs I'm on a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro with macOs Monterey 12.6.2

PyCharm 2022.3.2 (Community Edition) Runtime version: 17.0.5+1-b653.25 aarch64

For my virtual environments I use conda (miniforge3) version 4.14.0

When I run 'uname -m' in the PyCharm terminal it returns 'x86_64', however when I run the same command in zsh terminal I get 'arm64'. Both are executed in the conda 'base' environment and I would have expected the architectures to be the same.

What I've done

Downloaded PyCharm aarch64 (I was previously on x86_64), yielded the same result
Create specific arm64 and x86_64 conda environments, all return x86_64
Followed the steps in this thread arch x86_64 and arm64e is available but python3 is saying incompatible architecture on Mac M1

Thanks in advance for your help!

Solution

The issue is solved by deleting the current version of PyCharm and removing the left over ID directories as explained here https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#logs-directory

After re-installing PyCharm it now works!
