The space for Volume Shadow Copies has probably increased due to moved
files being seen as new or changed by the system.

Use the disk cleanup utility and have it delete all but the most
recent restore point and the shadow copies.

Use Disk Cleanup and once you get to the main page of the program be sure to
go to the "More Options" tab and click the "Clean up .." button in the
"System Restore and Shadow Copies" section to clear out all but the most
recent restore points.
