Windows 10: Can I uninstall all these Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributions?

I am running low on space on my laptop's hard drive and I decided to uninstall some programs which I deemed unnecessary. While scrolling through the list of programs I came across a plethora of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributions ranging from the year 2005 all the way to 2015-2019. Although they don't accumulate to much space, I would still like to uninstall if possible. However, I am a little hesitant to uninstall at the moment. So will I face any repercussions if I chose to uninstall all of these redistributions?

NOTE: I do program, but not in C++ and do not plan on getting into it any time soon.
