You can reduce it by deleting the files inside.

The hard part is to know which files are required.
The only tool that helps to find out is Sysinternals Sigcheck

Helo JFX, I was used sigcheck to get list catalog file "unsigned" and remove them, but all files in caroot is "unsigned" .
Code: [Select]
sigcheck -c C:\Windows\System32\catroot\{F750E6C3-38EE-11D1-85E5-00C04FC295EE}
Please you do explain for me and help me !

Sadly it's not a straight way to find catalogs.

ex. show catalog that signs C:\Windows\explorer.exe

sigcheck.exe -i C:\Windows\explorer.exe

If you get "unsigned" for all there must be something really wrong.
Most files should be signed.
Have you already delete files in catroot?
