Windows 10: I found a bunch of different Visual C++ apps in my system? Do I need ALL of them?

Hi everyone,I try to update Microsoft Visual C++ using WingetUI, and WingetUI does update for 2015-2022 version, whilst CAN'T update the 2013 version. I'm confused: why two different versions of Visual C++ on my Win11? I gave a look with Revo uninstaller and I noticed that I have 10 different versions of Visual C++ in my Win11!!! The versions are from 2005 to 2015-2022 in both x64 AND x32 versions.My question: do I need ALL of them? Or should I uninstall everything BUT the last x64 2025-2022 version?Many thanks in advance.

:)
