Only one Windows Software Development Kit installed at a time?

2

I use an SSD so I don't have a lot of storage space but Microsoft always seems to install multiple Windows Software Development Kits wasting tons of space:

And yes, I'm a software developer so I need an SDK. However, isn't there a way to only install the latest and keep the others off my PC? They silently install themselves without me noticing and suddenly my C: drive is full again.

1Do you only have an SSD, or do you also have a 2nd drive? If its the latter, you can use mklink to move the installs. That way they are still installed, but won't consume disk space on your SSD anymore. – LPChip – 2018-08-25T10:30:49.373

I have a C: and D: drive. Thanks for your suggestion, I will try it later. – BullyWiiPlaza – 2018-08-25T12:11:49.893

1Microsoft doesn't install it. The Windows SDK is only installed by a user. Can you modify the screenshot to indicate which versions are installed? If you need multiple Windows SDK entirely depends on your developement needs – Ramhound – 2018-08-25T14:36:08.617
