1. What Is Vcredist_x64

I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable x64 installed on my computer it takes up 4GB of space from which I could greatly benefit from gaining. I don't understand why I need the Visual C++ on my computer.

Is it safe to uninstall this program?

Is there a complete list of programs somewhere which actually use the Visual C++? Are there any alternatives that are smaller that I could install, instead.

I really need the disk space and this is the largest program on my computer

Microsoft visual c++ 2008 redistributable is a set of DLLs that are used by some other software installed on your computer. Dr shuki osman usm. I really doubt it takes 4GB as it should really take about several (under 10) MB. If you uninstall it there is a chance that one of your installed programs will stop running.
