_manifest folder in the ISO image

[BKPB]

The _manifest folder appeared in the image. What is it for and can it be deleted ?

That's not created by NTLite, to my knowledge.

Where is this folder located? On the mounted USB drive, or inside the ISO file itself?

inside the ISO file itself

Was this ISO created using MCT? If you downloaded it from a non-MS website then I would look for a more official source.

OK

That is a Russian-hosted site, so you need to decide if that's trustful for you.

If you need to download older W10 images from a real MS source, there are two options:

PowerShell GUI for Downloading Windows 10/11 ESD images - W10_11aria2ESD.ps1​

Trouble finding W10 21H2 ISO​

UUP dump is another option, but not all old W10 builds are provided.
