MATLAB: Should i remove one MATLAB Compiler Runtime if i have two ones

two mcr

Hi, I want to speed up my computer, so i remove unnecessary applications. However, i see that there are two MATLAB Compiler Runtimes which are MATLAB Compiler Runtime 8.2 (32-bit), and MATLAB Compiler Runtime 7.17. I think my computer doesn't need both. Therefore, i wonder if i should remove 8.2 (32-bit) because my computer is 64 bit ? Thanks!

You have to think about the computer(s) to which you intend to deploy the compiled applications. Are they also always going to be 64-bit? If you plan to deploy to a 32-bit computer, you will need the 32-bit compiler and MCR.
