Delete Dll Cache

Attention. Using this feature, like the others in this section, is not necessary. Rather, it is an exception. These functions are designed for very experienced users. Use them only if you know exactly what you are doing. Changes selected in this section cannot be undone using Red Button. To recover deleted Windows components, you will need the distribution from which the operating system was installed.

This feature allows to delete backup copies of system files protected by Windows File Protection (WFP).

When Windows File Protection is active, replacing or deleting a system file that has no file lock to prevent it from being overwritten causes Windows to immediately and silently restore the original copy of the file. The original version of the file is restored from a cached folder which contains backup copies of these files. For the Windows XP, the cached folder is located at %SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache.

Risk Level: RED
