You'll probably want to leave those C++ redistributables there. There are probably applications on your system that are dependant on them.

They don't run in the background. To simplify it they are basically just libraries that are called by an application.

You have no bloatwares. Do not delete unless your trial periods on the games have run out...then purchase or pay to play or delete. Why don't you have bloatware, anyway?

just searched it. it's because i made the computer so obviously i start with a clean slate. also i'm very careful with what i put on it. just what i need nothing else.

Bloatwares are softwares that PC manufacturers factory installed in computers... like ads in magazines or newspapers.... they are sources of revenues for DELL, HP, ACER, etc. Most are on trial basis, and most are programs most users do not use and some are space hoggers and some are difficult to unstall.
DELL, after so many complaints from customers, is now offering options to prospective buyers on what software/s they allow/choose to be factory installed.

Many would argue that VISTA is XP on Bloatware
