Windows 10: Dropping this here: How to create a list of installed files on Windows OS through powershell

Open up powershell by pushing WIN+X

winget list | Where-Object { $_ -notmatch "Microsoft" -and $_ -notmatch "Windows" } | Out-File "C:\path\to\your\file.txt"

Debloat your output by adding the nomatch for microsoft and windows, and whatever else you want to exclude.

Cheers!

Remove an OS installation without removing files?

There's no way to keep files and delete OS without installing a new OS. You can create a new partition on that drive, drop your files there and format partition with OS.

Recent File List

only way I know to clear em out is to remove the reg keys

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint\Recent File List.

you can try setting that container to read only but I'm not sure how that will affect it. or a basic powershell/vbscript in taskscheduler to wipe those keys every so often.
