It seems like MS have made some big changes to System Restore lately. I'm sure it used to only takeup less than 10GB no matter how much of my hard drive I was using. I just reenabled it after updating and it made a disc image that's around 8GB and a folder WindowsImageBackup that's neary 100GB.

Is there any way to set it up so it takes less space? And can I just delete these new files on my secondary drive that Restore has made?
 
I don't expect to get a system image. That's the thing. I just want to be able to use Restore like it used to be, where it would only take a few GB and would let you roll back if you installed something and something went wrong.
