I was just clearing out some old junk folders left from uninstalled programs. I found a folder titled "winsxs". Can you all tell me what this is? It contains three more folders called:

"Manifests"

"x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.Dxmrtp_6595b64144ccf1df_5.2.2.1_x-ww_468466a5"

"x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.RtcDll_6595b64144ccf1df_5.2.2.1_x-ww_d6bd8b93".

I didnt open them because I didnt want to mess anything up my accidently deleting any vital files. Thanks for you help in the past and future.
