I have recently checked that "Intel Management Engine Components" (Actually an app) is taking up about 432MB, should I uninstall it?

Hi avanish
I am Dave, I will help you with this.
You indicate Intel Management Engine is taking up 432MB is that RAM, or hard drive space, can you please provide a screenshot of where you are seeing that taking up 432MB.
It is safe to uninstall Intel Management Engine that should not have any bad affect on your System.
You need to be really careful about uninstalling a Windows component you are not familiar with.
I recently tried to install a UHD Blu-Ray player software but it would not install because of the Intel Management engine was not adequate.. (SGX )
And once you uninstall it, you may not be able to get it reinstalled the same as it was without a special process.
Hi #avanish
If that application is not causing any difficulty, then maybe there is another way we can clear space on your drive
Click the link below to download a small free utility called Treesize.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/treesize-free...
To run TreeSize, right click its icon and choose Run as Administrator.
Please provide a screenshot of your C drive in that TreeSize utility, so I can see your hard drive and work out where that space is being used and if there is an underlying problem.
Sorry, I forgot to mention what it is actually, it's a hard drive space, actually I have less space left in my C drive (where system is installed) and I have deleted everything that is required to clean the space, the last thing that left out is uninstalling apps, so I noticed that Intel Management Engine Components is taking a lot more space, that's why I asked it to you!
