Office Shared Settings large with many files

Good Day!

Below are the settings that capture folder in Office Shared Settings. These settings are basically the default from when I set UEM up 3 years ago.

Some users have over 250 MB (almost 600 uncompressed) shared settings.zip with over 13K of files and it slows DEM processing down by 30 or more seconds.

I found that the Wef folder is the folder with the largest size and number of files.

\ProfileArchives\Microsoft Office 2016\Shared Settings\LocalAppData\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Wef

[IncludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Microsoft\AddIns
<AppData>\Microsoft\Bibliography
<AppData>\Microsoft\Office
<AppData>\Microsoft\Proof
<AppData>\Microsoft\Spelling
<AppData>\Microsoft\Templates
<AppData>\Microsoft\UProof
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Office\ONetConfig
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Licensing
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Office\
<AppData>\Microsoft\Crypto
<AppData>\Microsoft\Protect
<AppData>\Microsoft\Credentials
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\IdentityCache
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\OneAuth
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\TokenBroker
<LocalAppData>\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC
<LocalAppData>\Packages\Microsoft.AAD.BrokerPlugin_cw5n1h2txyewy

[ExcludeFolderTrees]
<AppData>\Microsoft\Templates\LiveContent
<LocalAppData>\Microsoft\Office\16.0\OfficeFileCache

Does anyone know what this folder is actually capturing and if we exclude it, what is the user experience?

Is there an updated Office Template that we should apply?

Thanks in advance!
