C:Windows\Installer accumulating files

Hello! I have a Windows 10 22H2 OS on a computer which is 9 years old, but working well (it is a high end computer). It has 128GB of disk space. 63.2GB of this space is used by a single hidden folder - C:\Windows\Installer, all of the space is taken up by multiple .msp (and a few .msi) files, which have been progressively building on my machine for the past 9 years. My question is simple - how do I get rid of the non-needed files from this directory, and why have they been accumulating.

There is an old Windows program called msizap which used to solve this, and a 3rd party program called patchcleaner which was created 5 years ago, but I was wondering if there could be a Windows approved way. There are a number of articles on this problem - namely https://superuser.com/questions/835026/can-i-safely-remove-msi-and-msp-files-that-are-in-c-windows-installer-but-a and https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/my-windows-installer-folder-is-over-90-gb-does/807eb726-8cf7-4c22-8671-48e7008b57ef#:~:text=This%20folder%20is%20used%20to,it%20automates%20the%20removing%20process . The only advice I have got so far is to do a fresh install of Windows, which I cannot do as I have a linux partition that would be destroyed by doing this.

This problem has seemed to be around for years. There is a bug that Windows cannot seem to delete all sold files from this C:\Windows\Installer directory.

I therefore have two requests - the first one easier than the second:
1. A new windows program which can remove al the .msp files that are no longer relevant (doing what msizap used to do)
2. An update to Windows in a month or so which will ensure they don't accumulate again in this folder.

Thank you.
