@Winter

I noticed that you issue SETACL commands for each file/folder before removal.
But!  how about giving the Administrators group FULL access to the WinSXS folder, before removal

Code:

SetACL.exe -on D:\Winreducer\.....\Windows\WinSxS -ot file -actn ace -ace "n:S-1-5-32-544;p:full"  -rec cont_obj -silent


Then remove components as required.
Afterwards, restore the Administrators group access to READ_EX

Code:

SetACL.exe -on D:\Winreducer\.....\Windows\WinSxS -ot file -actn ace -ace "n:S-1-5-32-544;p:read_ex"  -rec cont_obj -silent


Also, the files in the WinSXS\Backup  and  WinSXS\Manifest  folders  INHERIT their access settings from the folder setting.  So this command...

Code:

SetACL.exe -on D:\Winreducer\.....\Windows\WinSxS\Backup -ot file -actn ace -ace "n:S-1-5-32-544;p:full" -silent


means I can delete any file in that folder without needing to change the permissions on every file!

Then, to restore the setting back as it was, use the command as before...

Code:

SetACL.exe -on D:\Winreducer\.....\Windows\WinSxS\Backup -ot file -actn ace -ace "n:S-1-5-32-544;p:read_ex" -silent


Surely that would speed up the removal process??
Try it.

Hello KrX,

The work is not finished yet, so please do not mark it as implemented. Thanks.
