Default System Restore Fragmentation

I'm running Media Center Edition in Italian with System Restore points at the
1% minimum. Right now this gives me seven restore points. But an analysis
by the Windows Defrag utility shows 18 restore points fragmented. There are
groups of three or four with 43 fragments or 40 or 39. If I defragment, they
disappear -- but then they come back. A few weeks ago I found myself with
more than fifty fragmented restore points and they all had 82 fragments. It
took a long time to defragment the disk.

What's going one here? Why are system restore points fragmenting after
they've been defragmented? They're not being accessed, are they? Is it
possible to keep this thing under control?

Finally, is it possible to eliminate individual restore points in System
Volume Information once you've given yourself access to it? Or, I've noticed
that CCleaner now gives the option of eliminating single restore points. Can
it be trusted to do that?

Thank you.
