I opened PowerShell as administrator and ran Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\*" -Recurse -Force to delete all files and subfolders in the System32 directory.

A bunch of new files were quietly added to the Windows 11 System32 folder and they seem to suggest Microsoft may be looking to ditch UWP in favor of XAML and Win32-based shell on Windows 11.

For any1 that might care the only way to replace any 'dll'-file in the 'system32' directory is through the Recovery Console.<BR>Thx Magus.<BR>Was ripping my hair out trying to replace those files.

The main subfolders of the System32 folder that normally occupy space are DriverStore, FileRepository, Config, drivers, winevt, catroot, Log Files, etc.
