Unneeded manifest files after NTLite removals

[ExDeF]

Hi!
After uninstalling WMP remains: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Media Player\ru-RU\*.mui
Make the deletion of unnecessary files in the folder: C:Windows\SystemApps\Shared\*.*
After removal:

There are about ~8500 files in C:Windows/Windows/WinSxS/Manifests/*.* are they all necessary?

Are we talking about Features - Disable WMP from NTLite?
Either way, the disabling uses DISM, it decides to keep what it wants, so it can be re-enabled later and use that language pack (MUI files).

Why do you think it's unnecessary?
I can point you to the component to remove once you give me a few unnecessary filenames.

Those files are in the Windows Component Database component above the red rectangle of your screenshot, please read the description of it from the tool on the right.
Basically if removed, NTLite cannot remove more from that target.
Only a handful of manifests are needed for installation though, they are passive files, not something running on your machine.

Yes

After deleting the Windows Component Store, Manifest Backup, here is what remains in the WinSxS folder:

I understand that manifest files are only needed for these remaining folders, so why are the other ~8490 files needed?

After deleting WinSxS, the WMP component can no longer be enabled.

I don't have a WMP folder in C:\Program Files (x86)
Probably leftovers related to the language

I have 6050 files in Winsxs with these 2 components removed, the more components you delete, the fewer files are present

After deleting WinSxS, the WMP component can no longer be enabled.

Then instead of disabling a feature, use removing of component.
