Hello,

Is it safe to say that the latest version of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.23026 is complete and allows for the removal of older versions?
Thank you!

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 64.0

Thank you! I'm going to keep them then. It's true that they don't take up much space!

Hello to you...

“They don’t take up too much space,” all combined I’m at 156MB, it’s starting to be a lot for 11 things that could be grouped together. For example, the last one is called "2015-2022" and is 20MB.

Maybe Microsoft has 2-3 skilled people who are capable of doing updates that overwrite the previous ones.

But, well, it’s C++ so it’s related to coding, maybe you have to keep the dictionary for each version to open the software coded in 2008 which can’t be opened in 2012, etc.

For my idea, it’s about clearing things out, not necessarily to free up space in MB on my PC, I prefer one big thing of 150MB to 15 things of 10MB.
