Microsoft Visual C++ is a programming software. It isn’t used to run any programs on your computer, except those you create with it. If you aren’t a programmer and/or you don’t use it, uninstalling it will not harm your computer in any way.

Can I Delete C++ files?

 

If you are trying to delete some library files then you will not be able to use some of library functions. If you are trying to delete some program files that are designed by you then make sure that these files are not associated by other programs this may cause errors in other files to run.
