If there are many outdated entries in Executable files list in computer's properties or on a server, there is a way to bring it up-to-date.

Step-by-step guide

There is a hidden Actualization task that runs at the end of the Inventory task. To use this functionality and quickly update the list of executables, do the following:

1. Create an Inventory task 
2. Set Inventory scope to either empty or very small folder
3. Run it

Since the scope of work is small, the inventory task will be performed much faster and will go straight to the actualization task. After the task is completed, all outdated (not existing at the moment) executables will be removed from the list.
