Windows Installer Patch files (:msp) back from 2020. Are they REALLY necessary?

My c: disk is struggling with space which is being heavily consumed by MS patch files (*.msp) located in the Windows Installer Folder. Files from 2018 (which are a tiny number of the total files) take 1GB!
What can I do to make my space management more efficient? And no, at this time reinstalling MS Windows is out of the question
