❔ Publishing an winforms application

Im having some issues or i dont understand how publishing works, basically i wanted to compile my app as a single executable self contained exe (i assume all the dlls and other stuff all would be contained in the exe) and after doing this and running the exe alone in a folder the application doesnt start, also the exe goes from the 200kb debug exe to a 150mb published exe file.

Whats the best way to compile a application as to keep the clutter of files down while also keeping the exe file size low? Is it even possible?
