Question Is it OK to delete microsoft visual studio?

I'm cleaning up the clutter from my hard drive. I don't even know what this is. But I have two of these folders. Is it safe to delete them?

As Lex said, that is how you would uninstall them, and yes, it is safe to delete them. Oh, and BE CAREFUL about deleting, if you have any more questions on this, come here first ! When in doubt, don't. But those folders are ok to delete.

Umm before you go and delete them, are you a gamer or have any games installed? If so then i would NOT delete those.

The libraries for Visual Studio are used for games. Which is why it was installed. So by uninstalling them you could easily cause your game not to work.

Before you ask, no i can not tell you which game installed them.
