Can you delete Microsoft visual c plus?

Answer 1

To delete Microsoft Visual C/C++, like any other Windows program, simply uninstall it using Control Panel / Add-Remove Programs. For additional information, consult the readme that came with the original program.

Answer 2

Regardless of what programming language was used to create a program, the only programs that can be safely deleted are standalone programs: those that do not require installation. Use caution, though. Just because there is no installer for a particular program does not mean the program is a standalone program. It may be part of a suite of programs, where the suite provides the installer. However, it may be possible to remove individual programs that are not essential to the suite by uninstalling the suite and then re-installing, if the installer provides a custom install option that allows you to select which parts of the suite you wish to retain. The suite itself may also provide the option to remove individual programs from the suite without running the installer. Consult the suite documentation for more information.

Note that Windows itself has many programs, many of which are vital to the operating system. The Add/Remove Programs applet is the only safe way to remove Windows features that are not vital. Certain programs, such as Windows Explorer and internet Explorer, are integral components of the operating system and therefore cannot be deleted.

Ultimately, you should never delete files of any type from any computer without knowing something about the file itself. Consult the internet to determine if a particular file is safe to delete, but always use an uninstaller where one is provided. This ensures that the Windows registry is updated correctly, and that all support files are also removed. You may still need to perform some manual cleanup, even with an uninstaller, but there are many tools that can help you with this, such as CCleaner. However, use these tools with caution: they are not a silver bullet, but they can help identify problems. Research these problems thoroughly to determine how best to deal with them.
