windows 7 - I want to move winsxs folder to another drive. Possible?

My SSD is running out of space. The winsxs folder is by far the biggest holder of space. So I wanted to move the folder to another drive, then make a junction to actually point to the new location.

The stumbling block is that to create a junction, you must delete the source folder. And I can't do that because Windows won't let me. It states that TrustedInstaller user owns the folder and I can't do anything about it. I attempted to take ownership of the folder but windows simply won't let me.

My questions are as follows:

1. What I am trying to do...is it safe?


2. How do I take ownership of the winsxs folder?
