My 7x64 is using 14.1gb - he may have more shadow copies.
Vista 64 bit will be about the same.
If you need it to use less disk space - try 32 bit, or edit Vista/7 install files with vlite.

Another one is made every time a restore pt is created. System restore only restores a small amount of what is in the shadow copy.

Hope it helps.

But would that still apply if I deleted the partition of the HDD and started fresh?
Yes, when a restore pt is made a shadow copy is created.
You can control the amount of space used for Shadow storage - reduce it now if you want - the older pts will be deleted if they fall outside the space you have allocated.
Not sure why you want to reinstall.
