It is not recommended to delete the files in WinSXS directory.

Because the component store (\Winsxs) is needed to repair the OS binaries in the event that a file becomes corrupted or, in worst case scenarios, compromised. There are a few directories in the component store so let’s look at them and what their general role is in Windows.

 

1. \Winsxs\Catalogs: Contains security catalogs for each manifest on the system

2. \Winsxs\InstallTemp: Temporary location for install events

3. \Winsxs\Manifests: Component manifest for a specific component, used during operations to make sure files end up where they should

4. \Winsxs\Temp: Temp directory used for various operations, you’ll find pending renames here

5. \Winsxs\Backup: Backups of the manifest files in case the copy in \Winsxs\Manifests becomes corrupted

6. \Winsxs\Filemaps: File system mapping to a file location

7. \Winsxs\<big_long_file_name>: The payload of the specific component, typically you will see the binaries here.
