So what should I do when I accidentally deleted Microsoft Visual C++ ?

[samuelgordon]

I accidentally deleted Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable (x64) on my computer, making some software currently running on the machine faulty, and it is unable to work. I think deleting will reduce the amount of memory. So what should i do?
Anybody help me, please!

If you search the internet you can find various sites that enable you to download this. eg. https://www.xyztec.com/knowledgecenter/external-software/microsoft-visual-c-2010-sp1-redistributable-64-bit/

if you need disk space, windows will let you compress most files and folders which will get you about 10-25% of your disk capacity back. If you need to delete something, make sure you know what it is first. Deleting windows saves a lot of space on your disk too, but that won't help you... typical things that use a lot of space are games, video files, or large amounts of sound/image files.
if you do not clean up after yourself already, ccleaner program can find a GB or two in internet junk files and such.

There is a recent (May 2021) release of the redistributables for VC++2010 SP1, available for download at MS:

Simply download the one(s) you need, they are all very small file sizes.

I saw that, But I thought it was an update to an already installed 2010 SP1 ?
