I'm attempting to run RetroArch for an old game, but it requires DirectX 9.0c.
Will installing DirectX 9.0c overwrite or delete the current version I have installed (v12)? If so, can I subsequently remove DirectX 9.0c if I have to run newer games?

If you have Windows 10, I'd expect DX9 to be already installed.– PowerlordCommented Jun 29, 2018 at 0:19

2@pppery I’m not sure whether this is a duplicate of that question because installing DX9.0c is different from installing DX6 on a modern OS. (It’s not necessary to install DX6 in a modern OS.)– galacticninjaCommented May 25, 2023 at 7:47

Installing DirectX 9 won't affect games that require DirectX 10 or newer, so you can install it without any worries and won't need to uninstall it either.
The different versions will coexist side by side, through completely separate DLLs.
