However, it's possible to reduce its size deleting those files that are no longer required for the operation of Windows 10, and you can accomplish this task using Command Prompt, Storage sense, and even the legacy Disk Cleanup tool. If you're trying to free up space, you won't be able to delete the WinSxS folder. Because the folder uses "hard linking," a technique that allows the creation of pointers of an original file with entirely different names and locations in the same partition, they'll appear as separate files to applications (such as File Explorer) reporting the wrong size. The problem is that most people would use File Explorer to calculate its size. While the WinSxS folder is expected to grow larger over time, the actual size on disk isn't as big as it may seem.
