Solved Windows 10 & 11 create tons of empty folders in System32


I have a script to erase them, I can share it here BUT I erase all the language files EXCEPT en-US and tr-TR so

If someone use the script, they may lose their own language files and the operating system may crash.

So I'm just sharing only addresses;

Be careful and do not erase your own language folders.

    I can simply say that I took the red pill and I am not happy with it.
I just looked through the collections of language folders you pointed out for me (thanks again), and it looks to me as though if you delete all of them except your own languages, the savings in terms of space is going to be minimal (a Gig, maybe), and the savings in terms of Windows efficiency is going to be zero, since there's no reason why the contents of a language folder would ever be loaded into memory unless you're using that language.

It makes very good sense that you use a script to accomplish this, because it wouldn't be worthwhile to do it all manually.

Am I wrong? Am I missing something here?

I always erase that folders for a long time. I never need other language files, for example you are from Canada, you are OK with French and English languages. You never need Chinese, Russian, Arabic or Turkish languages.

Even though I use Home Single Language, Microsoft always adds these files and folders.

You cannot erase them manually.

You can erase that folders with
a live OS,
advanced start > command prompt,
or NSUDO

Defender Files are not deleted with NSUDO

Confirmed: It did not. And the folder of concern is still without its plethora of useless files. :clap:

    Malwarebytes Premium and MS Defender, beautiful together
I knew why you posted that. Just thought I would check mine to confirm, since i hadn’t checked in a couple of weeks.
At least we we are ok. for a while I created a shortcut to that folder, just to check now and again but I have deleted it now. not to say that it won't re-enable in future updates

Great minds. I used a shortcut for a week. and checked Task Scheduler after every. system change, but now I think the risk is lower that it will revert.

I disabled the Logon task for Provisioning Tool and had an unexpected consequence. I am quite sure this caused it. I play a few older games. Microsoft Treasure Hunt and Blocked In ( don't judge, I can't play fast paced games anymore because of my hands), lost the saved game data. Haven't found an issue with anything else so far. I had to restart the games. Has anyone else had a problem with saved data?

It is a small price to pay not having the 2 games saved progress. Starting over was no biggie. Just wondered if anyone else noticed anything although I know this is an old thread. I really hated having to clean those folders.

I've deleted the folders on both Windows 10 and 11 with no apparent ill after-effects. Up to the user, of course, whether or not they care (or do something about it).
Best wishes,
