reducing windows size

I upgraded from XP Pro to Vista RC2. I was looking on my drive and noticed
that the windows folder is 9GB. Are there any files or subfolders that can
be safely removed in order to reduce the size of this? One of the subfolders
called winsxs is 3GB with 4984 subfolders and from what I understand we
aren't supposed to remove anything from there. That leaves 6GB still. The
windows temp file is empty.
