Building a .net core self contained app produces a lot of files in the same folder, is there a way to separate "system files" i.e. the dotnet core files and put them in a "bin" folder from my app's DLL files?

What I have tried:

Messed around with the files, but the EXE complains there are missing files and won't run.

If you want to publish this, have you considered dotnet publish? Also what files are you referring to? .Dll, .json files are required.

I am using dotnet publish, but my question is how can I separate the "system" dlls to a bin folder and leave my dlls in the root?

I want to do the same, put the system dlls into a bin or lib folder, for a simple hello world app, are 218 files in the same folder:
