Net Framework

Hello,
I do not know when or how this .Net Framework was installed. It is not listed in the installed programs.
(The only user is me)
Found it in two places:
1. C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET
2. a. C:/Users/.NET v4.5
2. b. C:/Users/.Net v4.5 Classic
Searching the internet I found it is used by programers, which I am not.
Looked in the registry, it started version 2, 3, and now its 4.5.
Qustions:
Do I need it in my system ? what for ?
If I do not need it, how to uninstall it, as said above it is not listed in programs list.
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

That sounds normal to me. I actually do need the older .net framework for an application and that has to b enabled manually. If you look in Control Panel and select Programs and Features and then click Turn Windows Features on or off at the left hand side you should see something like this. I added the tick to enable the older .net framework.

Hello,
OK, thanks for the answer.
But why in two places, in one place it apears as a user ?
Thanks.

1. is the normal location where Windows installs it, however it could also be anywhere installed by an application that needs it, which accounts for yours listed in 2.
It won't be listed separately.
I have a version of .NET installed which is obvious as it's in the Program Folders of the application that uses it.
