I've tried the cmd command and Windows cleaner with elevated privileges, but neither has cleaned the WinSxS folder. It says that the task has been completed in the CMD, but WinSxS is still 14 GB. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium x64.
Answer
The only way to cleanup the WinSxS folder is to check all installed Updates and look which updates are replaced by newer updates and remove those old updates. In Windows 8 Microsoft added an automatic cleanup which does the check for you and removes the updates.
