Hi,
In short: it's not advisable that you uninstall any of your C++ Redistributable Packages on your system, or you may break something. Just leave it alone.
Here is the description of the reason.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Rest assured, it is best to keep all versions of the C++ Redistributables, the software developers for 3rd party software target different versions of the C++ Redistributable for functionality in their software, and having all versions installed will ensure you do not have any errors running the software you have installed, and the C++ Redistributables do not use up much system resources.
Thank you for your response.
