Windows 2008 - c:\windows\winsxs?

Hi.

We have a server running Windows Server 2008 SP2 that is running out of space... I found out that the folder c:\windows\winsxs uses 12 GB and c:\windows\installer usees 6 GB... What are these folder for? And can I free up some of that space they are using?

The server is running WSUS 3, SCCM 2007 and nothing else.

Okay thanks for the answers... I'll leave them as they are... We moved our page-file to another partition and found 5 GB logs, so now we have 12 GB free disk space instead of 500 MB...
