Xcode – Removing older versions of Command Line Tools

I was analyzing my files with CleanMyMac’s space lens tool, and found multiple versions of command line tools in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools.
Is it safe to remove the older versions? I don’t use Xcode or Android Studio, so can I completely uninstall the command line tools?

    If you uninstall the command line tools, and some software you are using is dependent on them, then they (or the latest version) can just be re-installed.
