I recently noticed that when I search for 'cmd' in Windows, I'm seeing multiple entries for Command Prompt, and I'm a bit confused about this. Here are the paths I've found:
1. C:WindowsWinSxSwow64_microsoft-windows-commandprompt_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.5262_none_7562a8f8ca3ea893
2. C:WindowsWinSxSwow64_microsoft-windows-commandprompt_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.5547_none_753fc6b8ca5949ddr
3. C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft-windows-commandprompt_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.5547_none_6aeb1c6695f887e2
4. C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft-windows-commandprompt_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.5547_none_6aeb1c6695f887e2r
5. C:WindowsWinSxSamd64_microsoft-windows-commandprompt_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.5547_none_6aeb1c6695f887e2f
Plus, there are others labeled with 'in r' and 'in f'. I know the main exe is stored in syswow and system32, but I'm baffled by these extra entries. Is there a safe way to delete these extras to clean things up?

You might want to check out your subreddit options, but it seems like you're not in the right one for this. Try r/techsupport or r/lostredditors for better advice on your Windows issue.
Thanks man!
Honestly, if you don't know what those files are doing in the C:Windows directory, it's best to leave them alone. Deleting files in that folder can cause issues with your system, so focus on cleaning up space elsewhere instead.
