It depends. If you dont clean out your system restores every once in a while they will all stay there but, if you clean them out all the time there should only be 1 system resotre which is about 2-3gb.

System restore points, cache/temporary files, page file, etc all add up.

They def do. To clean your pc delete old files and check these folders %temp%, %appdata%, c/programfiles, c/programfiles/commonfiles

or download crapcleaner (or ccleaner) really small application wich checks for all of the temporary crap you've got on your pc. And then deletes it for you.

The space has not got smaller since yesterday when I deleted those old system restore things.
