Windows 10: do I need all visual c++ applications?

Hi, I downloaded an application and wanted to delete it, but during installation, it asked to download something called Microsoft DirectX. After deleting the application, I also deleted the DirectX thing, but I also deleted the visual C++ applications. I only have the 2015-2022 redistributable x64 and x86 and runtime. I don't know if this will affect my computer. Please help
