Cleanup winsxs folder on windows server 2008 R2

I am having a fairly common issue in that the size of the winsxs folder keeps on growing. This folder is now 18gb in size and is impacting on the total server size, taking up a;; free space.

So looking on line I have found that there is a startcomponentcleanup task that should resolve this http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn251565.aspx however I cannot find this in windows server 2008 R2.
What can I do to reduce the winsxs folder size? this is now getting critical.
