Windows 10: Determine what apps use which installed .NET framework

Hi,My workstation has a few versions of the .NET framework installed:Most of these were installed when a third party app is installed and it requires that specific version of the .NET framework. I want to clean up my workstation by uninstalling unused programs.I want to remove some of these frameworks, but I'm not sure which are still being used. I was wondering is there a way to determine which versions are still being used? e.g. is there a tool that can generate a report that shows what app is using what framework?Jason
