How to identify Reclaimable Packages reported as count by "Dism /Online /CleanUp-Image /
"Dism /Online /CleanUp-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore" reports that there are Reclaimable Packages:
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 2
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes
After running "Dism /Online /CleanUp-Image /StartComponentCleanup" the number of Reclaimable Packages does not change.
Is there a way to identify these Reclaimable Packages?
This is an advanced question. Please don't waist your time by suggesting rebooting PC, running sfc and ScanHealth. Please don't post garbage comments or links to other posts. If you know the answer, just provide a command, if not keep your thoughts to yourself, please.

In the output, look for packages that might be marked for reclamation. While the DISM command doesn’t specifically tag them as reclaimable in its output, it will show you all installed packages and you may need to analyze which ones are typically known to be reclaimable.
Identifying and removing packages manually can lead to other issues if you inadvertently remove something essential, so proceed with caution.
