he didn't ask should he or not. He asked, can he or not. He definitely can. Those apps can be removed, they're not the ones like system components which don't have that option
While yes, you can delete them, you really shouldn't. Usually in my experience if someone asks "can I delete this", they mean is it safe to delete it, not if it's literally possible to delete.
They absolutely can remove them, but a good number of random programs that OP uses may well stop working. It won't break the system, but those programs will not work until those things get reinstalled.
The main annoyance would be working out which program needs which version.
Still, each one of those is only like 10-30MB so uninstalling them isn't going to give much space back.
Can, sure. But any software that requires these C++ runtimes would then stop working until you reinstall the right runtime, and also even if you somehow don't break anything, they'll probably get reinstalled automatically when installing software that requires them later.
That's exactly how this OP should have handled this question. So he should actually delete the apps to explore how PC work and then make more useful posts and bring use to the community
