Office 2013 updates clogging up disk space

Hi,

I am trying to free up as much disk space as possible and I have found the disk space used up after installing and updating Office 2013 going through the roof.

Particularly 

C:\Windows\Installer (5.1 GB)
C:\Windows\WinSxS (3,5 GB)

The installation is MSI based not click and run.

The issue seems to be that the old replaced files are still retained somewhere. I can still go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\Installed Updates and see an uninstall option for each and every Office 2013 update (but not for i.e. Windows updates)

I have tried the usual disk cleanup measures, including cleanmgr and even some not so usual things (dism /online /cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase)

Please help me get rid of the uninstall office updates options.
