Can i delete older vesrion of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable?

So my PC has 22 Microsoft Visual C++ (2005-2008-2013-2017)

Why does my PC have 22, Can I delete some of it? Like the older version? Or what happens when I delete one of the older versions? And does it affect my PC?

Hi Veok

No, it is not safe to delete any of those, they are installed by the applications that you installed onto your PC, those applications target different versions of the C++ redistributable and will cease to function properly if you delete any of those . . .

Those C++ redistributables do not use much system resources and do not slow down your PC and as such do no harm, and are best left alone . . .
