How many versions of C++ does a pc need anyway?
While looking for programs I could delete and free up some space on my drive I noticed that there a LOT of Microsoft Visual C++ versions installed and since I didn't install them I assume they were needed by the OS and automatically downloaded and installed. There are 4 different C++ 2005's, 4 C++ 2008's and 4 2010 C++ separately listed versions of C++ - do I really need ALL of these and can any be safely uninstalled to free up space on my hard drive? If it's a case of Windows update installing newer versions why weren't the others deleted ?
