Windows 10: Which of these C++ runtimes do I need?

On March 1st of this year, I reset my PC. When I checked the list of programs for the C++ redistributables I needed, I found 2017 visual c++ 14.13 was the only one. I recently installed a trial of Creative Cloud, and after cancelling it noticed that not only was the original redistributable gone now, but there were more in it's place. I checked Adobe, and it said that

• VC2005
• VC2008
• VC2010
• VC2012
• VC2013
• VC2015
• VC2017

Would be installed. Now, since the original C++ is gone, I need to know which ones I can delete. The current ones installed are in the image. I know I don't need something old like 2005, and I uninstalled all games in case. So do I just keep the most recent (14.15 2017)? Man It'd really be nice if when these programs uninstalled they'd take their now useless dlls with them.
