Marc laid this down on his screen :
It says the there are 3 files in locations c:\system
volume information\_restoreabfe....etc.
This means that you have them within your system restore files.

How do I delete System Restore restore points I do not need?
Answer: You have the option to delete all but the latest restore point
from your machine or delete all the restore points on your machine. To
do this:
? To delete all but the latest restore point on your machine by using
the disk cleanup utility: Go to 'Start > All Programs > Accessories >
System Tools > Disk Cleanup'. Click on the more options tab and then
click 'Clean up' in the System Restore box.
? To delete all the restore points on your machine disable and
re-enable system restore on the system: Go to the Control Panel ('Start >
Control Panel') and open the 'System' applet. Click on the 'System
Restore' tab on the system applet. Check mark 'turn off system restore
on all drives' and click the apply button. Then uncheck the box again
to re-enable System Restore on the machine and click OK.
? You can also reduce the number of restore points saved on your
machine by lowering the total amount of disk space available to system
restore. Remember that the lower the disk space available to system
restore, the lower the number of restore points that will be available
on your machine and smaller the safety net available to you through
System Restore.. To do this please see 'How can I adjust how much space
System Restore uses on my disk?'
