Windows 11 and CC Magic Issues

First off, I'm an Oldie, so I'm not very technical. I haven't played for a while. My adult child helped me get all set up on my new laptop, but the game won't run on CC Magic with Windows 11. She did some stuff to get it working from EA, BUT I have a bunch of duplicate items showing up. I want to clean that all out so that game runs smoothly and to get rid of what I no longer want. I did that in the Sims3 Launcher.  I want to clean out CC Magic to remove duplicates and just use the regular Launcher from now on.

Inside the CC Magic, I have these folders with something in them:

Packages

Sims3Packs

Store Sims3Packs

I don't mind an involved, long search to clean it up if it makes the game work better, not have duplicate items, and I can get rid of the stuff I don't use or like anymore. Can anyone help me with this in simple terms of what I need to do? 

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

    kjesmer​  This depends on what's in each folder.  If they contain too many files for screenshots, I can suggest a workaround to see what's duplicated.  But first, do you have any files in DCCache that end in .dbc or .ebc?  If so, does it help to remove all of them?  What about files in Mods > Packages?
