Some 10 of those and it makes some difference on a phone...

In how many places does Windows concentrate the settings for everything?

3 in this case ... registry, registry backup and system restore points.

Makes sense to get rid of one of those, especially as restoring a registry backup can lead to unintended issues if you've installed something since, whereas a system restore point takes care of all of that for you.
