Is it okay to remove older versions of the Vulkan Runtime Libraries? I have versions 1.0.33.0 and 1.0.65.1 installed on my computer - is it alright to remove the older version from 11/2017?

The Vulkan Runtime libraries, also known more specifically VulkanRT, is a video graphics driver of NVIDIA, Intel or AMD graphics cards; it works on the adjustment of graphics frame rates. Currently, all latest games support this driver. If you want to know more follow the article
Hi Norman, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a Microsoft Community expert and fellow user.
The Vulkan Runtime Libraries are installed by your graphics card manufacturer to help run your graphics applications. There's nothing wrong with leaving it as it is, and in fact removing older versions may cause problems as older apps may rely on the previous versions.
If the older versions are no longer needed, periodic updates will often remove them, so you won't need to be concerned with cleaning it up.
Please let me know if you need further support! Thanks!
