.net

Whilst doing some cleaning up, deleting old programs, I noticed I have .net framework 1, 2, 3, and 3.5. Is it safe to delete any of these? Version 2 was installed when I updated my Dell ATI drivers etc.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Not according to Microsoft, but you can certainly update it to the latest version if you like.

    No, leave them be, .NET based applications will not run without the runtime framework.
