winsxs folder for reclaiming space

I have windows 2008R2 servers and windows 2008 standard. The c drive keeps getting low on space. I used a treesize free program to let me know folder sizes. The winsxs folder is the largest, which has folders manifest, MainifestCAche, temp,  and Backup, other x86_mircosoft-windows -? folders,. Which of these can be deleted, I shouldn't have to keep increasing the size of the C drive.
