C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\SystemKeys Folder

Help! The folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\SystemKeys is growing out of control. It is doing this on some of our servers and some desktops. We are a medium to small business and use Active Directory (not Azure AD). My guess is it has something to do with Remote Desktop. I've heard that some of the keys in this folder are important so you can't just delete it. Anyone have any idea what to do to get it to stop or what causes this issue?

Here is a image of the file properties:

Thank you for any help.

    Hi, my name is Anderson Souza, I hope I can help you with your issue.

    I believe that your question will be better resolved if it is posted in a more suitable location such as the new Microsoft Q&A forum that is replacing the old TechNet. As it is a question aimed at infrastructure administrators who have more knowledge about corporate network environments and server operating systems, I believe that you will get better results there, since this forum here is intended for home Windows users. Please, check the link below:
