Here is a question for your locked-down nerdies...

Can I delete all the 'old' versions of C++?

At a hunch, there is still a registry entry for it so Windows thinks it's out of date and needs to be updated.  rubschin:

Check the uninstall apps option, if it still shows in the app list because of the entry Windows may be able to get rid of it for you.
