Default Local Settings

Hey guys, not exactly sure what the problem is here, but i've used maybe 30Gb total on my 500Gb HDD but the other day I went to defrag, and it says i have 138Gb used up in the Local Settings folder, which it cant defrag. I've system restored a couple times, and loaded maybe 3 games including wow, oblivion, and ET quake wars. Those are the things that have used up the most memory. Hope someone has some helpful suggestions, because I want to get back all that space.
