Microsoft.net Framework- PC running slow?

My computer (PC with Windows XP) is running really slow so I have had a look at what programs are installed to see if I can delete any that are taking up too much memory. I have the following programs installed and wondered if I need all of them as they all sound similar:-

1) Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1
2) Microsoft.Net Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (185.00 MB)
3) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 (179.00 MB)
4) Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5 SP1 (28.17 MB)

If anyone has any idea whether any of these can be deleted without causing the PC to have problems please let me know, as I would really like to free up some memory on the PC.

Thank you.

Microsoft Computers, Desktop PCs Pc Running Slow

.NET Framework is used to provide various services for applications but it is not possible to say whether or not you have any of them installed on your PC.

Any or all of those versions my be needed. That is to say .NET 4.0 does NOT replace or contain the functionality of the previous versions.

If you delete any or all of the versions of the .NET Frameworks then some (or none) of your applications will cease to run and will call for you to reinstall.
