I assume these files belong to lint files from microsoft, most likely because of the tag KB5051987

February 11, 2025—KB5051987 (OS Build 26100.3194) - Microsoft Support

support.microsoft.com

the wsusscan.cab most likely points to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/w...t-started/windows-server-update-services-wsus

I run as administrator once Disk Clean-up before. Now - nothing to remove?

Just checked something in windows.

Lower corner -> Clean up system files

Before the run:

Than I executed it again and got the same result

I do expect when I get this output. That these files are removed. Or these files are not being shown to be removed. Same old bug?

I'm well aware of that i can just nuke the folder - I want to know the official way to remove those files. I would ignore it when it would be below 1MiB in size in total.

Try the cleanup from the Settings in Storage. For some bizarre reason it is NOT just the new UI for the old cleanup and sometimes finds other files to clean other than what the OG util did. If that doesn’t work - there are no other officially endorsed by MS options I can think of, so that becomes dealers choice.
