If you uninstall it, any application that depends on it will likely crash or fail to launch with an error like: The program can't start because MSVCP120.dll is missing from your computer. (Note: MSVCP120.dll is the key file for VC++ 2013 – the "120" refers to version 12.0.)

If something breaks later, you can always reinstall it from Microsoft’s official download page. Always download from Microsoft’s official website. Never use third-party “DLL download” sites.
