I would like to ask if it is worth learning c++/C. I have a basic understanding of it.
Most of my programs are written in C#/Java but I find C++ very effective and hardcore.
Is it waste of time to learn this language?

no its a good language to learn as you said alot of programs use it.
however if it is a first language i do not advise jumping in at this as you might get overwhelmed and then even put off from learning another language. i advise for a beginner (if you are) you start with Java or php or maybe even perl tbh.
then i guess its down to you if you want to continue at it in the hopes that it will all come together for you.
it will take a lot of work to get but once you've got it there are many benefits:
create programs
addition to your CV
troubleshoot fix other c++ code
create apps
Albeit C++ is good programming language which I would recommend to all developers to learn but I don't see much use of it going forward as processors are becoming faster and cheaper so performance is not the reason.

Many time-critical or near real-time programs are written in C/C++, especially in embedded systems. It is as you are finding very hard to learn everything in C++. Here's a little tutorial http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ .
Oh, a lot of embedded device programming is in C as well because it's possible to write compact code. This is needed in an environment where resources are limited.
