Ubuntu – Is it safe to uninstall flatpak runtimes for apps I no longer have installed

flatpak

user@ncase:~$ flatpak list

user@ncase:~$ flatpak uninstall

As you can see, I only have 1 flatpak app installed, but I have a lot of flatpak runtimes installed. Are they safe to uninstall, or are they still in use somehow?

To add to @karel's answer: The command flatpak uninstall --unused uninstalls all unneeded runtimes.
