Hello,
I have a Telerik WinForms project in Visual Studio Professional 2022 and I'm using only a few different Telerik controls. Nevertheless, with each build I have many Telerik .dlls in my bin folders of controls I'm actually not using in my project. How can I remove these unused files? They're not referenced in my project.
Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Hello, Jana,
Thank you for specifying that you are using .NET 6 and the UI.for.WinForms.AllControls.Net60 NuGet package is installed on your end.
Indeed, when the AllControls Nuget package is installed, after rebuilding all the references that are packed in the Nuget will appear in the Bin folder:
If you want to avoid this behavior, feel free to uninstall the UI.for.WinForms.AllControls.Net60 NuGet package and install each separate Nuget package for the necessary reference:
Thus, after rebuilding only a few assemblies will be available in the Bin folder:
I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello, Jana,
Usually, the Bin folder contains these Telerik .dlls that are added as references in your project and the CopyLocal flag is true. It is weird if you have more Telerik assemblies in the Bin folder after Clean and Rebuild.
I have tested this behavior on my end and only the referred ones are present:
Do you have any Telerik NuGet packages installed? If yes, which one?
I am looking forward to your reply.

Hello Dess,
Thank you for your reply. I rechecked my references and I only use a few
In my bin folder I have 60 Telerik .dlls. I've already tried to delete them from the folder but with each build they're coming back. I indeed use a Telerik NuGet package, it's UI.for.WinForms.AllControls.Net60
I'm using VS 2022 and I recently migrated my project from .NET 4.7 to .NET 6

Hello Dess,
I would like to confirm that your proposed solution works for me. I've added all the necessary NuGet Packages of the Telerik components I'm using and this removed all unused .dlls in the bin folders.
Thank you again for your help!
