winsxs to large

I have 2 terminal servers on our network.  One of them is almost maxed out and doing a scan, (5.52GB FREE OF 74.8GB) I find that winsxs folder is taking up 48.3% of the C:\Windows folder.    I read a few post that say to NOT delete anything in this folder..........

HELP?    Is there a safe way to clean up my drive?   I have already done the usual....   temp files, etc.
This is a Server 2008 r2

Another item from the scan is 24% of the drive is the pagefile.

The other terminal server is at about the same status.    9.99GB free of 74.8GB

Will give that a try.   Won't be able to restart until users are finished for the day.

That recovered about 10% of the C:\windows folder
