Winxsx folder growing uncontrollably

Dear experts,
On one of our customers sbs2008 boxes, the winxsx folder is growing beyond control (and beyond partition size) I've read quite a few articles on the MS forums, but haven't found an answer yet. (apart from managing around the winxsx issue and resizing the OS partition)
could you please help me find a way to shrink or fis the size of the winxsx folder?

Use the vsp1cln.exe tool after installing Windows Vista SP1
Use the compcln.exe tool after installing Windows Vista SP2
