If you decide you don't want those adjustments any longer, delete the associated .xmp file. Adding layers to an image will massively increase the file size, so as Jake points out, flatten the image or merge down to reduce the overall file size before saving. Lastly, I never actually save RAW files I'm working on since the .xmp file does that automatically. Finished files can be converted (saved as) *.tif (for high resolution saves) or *.jpg's (when you don't need the resolution).And if you don't have a spare, external hard drive specifically for backing up your image files, I can't suggest too strongly you drop everything and get one.
