Theyre not backwards compatible so no, Lots of applications still target 2.0.

You need to BUY new HDD! Dude, it’s 21st century and you still have 20GB HDD, WHY FFS?!

If you get dotNet 3.5 or v4, they include v2 and v3 so those could be deleted. However, it might not save any space, it could increase the hdd usage as M$ stuff does tend to get bigger with each generation.
dotNet v1 is not included in any later dotNet, it you need that it has to be installed prior to the others and might not work on newer versions of Windows. There are still a few cool dotNet 1.1 programs available.
