want to talk about useless things taking space? microsoft knows how to do it correctly.
every windows install im greeted by stuff like this because some program requires it to run
and it keeps going
and going
this happens mostly due to stuffty programmers not having a clue how to compile their programs. they use microsoft visual studio which forces you to use these atrocities even when they are not actually needed. my advice, dont use the visual compiler.
I don't understand what is the problem. Evidently over time you have installed a lot of different programs, all of which were written in a different time period on different platforms, with different libraries and the programmers had different resources at hand. There are no duplicates. It looks messy, but it functions so why should you care anyway? Not to mention that their file sizes are tiny in comparison to the average amount of memory a computer system has today. Some of them do not even amount to a megabyte in size.
Perhaps they could've packaged this "stuff" up more generally, so there are less items in the list, but this may be a more flexible solution for the programmers.

Obviously they aren't useless if all your programs depend on atleast one of them.
