Hi,
Thank you for the detailed information.
The Winsxs folder, stores multiple copies of dll‘s in order to let multiple applications run in Windows without any compatibility problem. If you browse inside, you will see what look like a lot of duplicate dlls, each having the same name. These are actually,
different versions of the same files which are being stored; as different programs may require different versions.
Clean Up the WinSxS Folder.
