Time to sleep, will get back to this, thank you Eremon1.
Damn and you know, I was sitting at work during the night shift and was thinking about your problem and it hit me to ask about the hibernation file and if it was set to active but I got caught up with work and have been so busy this past weekend.

Glad you found it, with that 2GB regained you should be about normal for HDD usage now. Slainte!
