+Note that this is **not** an error, 64-bit DLLs are indeed supposed to go to the `system32` directory. Please refrain from opening issues or pull requests to change that, the instructions are correct as they are.

 In order to remove DXVK from a prefix, remove the DLLs and DLL overrides, and run `wineboot -u` to restore the original DLL files.
