How do I get my winsxs folder to be smaller on windows 7, above and beyond all of the standard disk clean up?

I'm running my computer on a small 100GB SSD. I noticed that there was 22GB left on it, and I started to investigate.


The biggest culprit on my machine was a 32GB WinSxS folder. I was flabbergasted.


I have followed every article I could find on Google to size this folder down, but despite my efforts, the folder is still just above 10GB!


How can I size this folder down even more? Preferably to 0, lol.


Is there a way that won't screw up my computer? I am in total disbelief that I have a folder that is larger than everything else on this drive, and for all I know, I likely will never need it.


Thanks
