Presumably if it creates a new one you have to manually delete the old ones or it won't be long until your hard drive is clogged up with unnecessary files?

As this happened with one of my HP laptop. I rarely used to shut it down. Also, i don not prefer to use hibernate as it usually take time to start and uses 4Gb hard-disk space, as compared to sleep mode. Finally is it really true that, "Today’s PCs are designed to handle 40,000 on/off cycles before a failure, and that’s a number you likely won’t reach during the computer’s five-to-seven-year life span."?

When you turn your computer on and off it accesses and writes to many system file areas. When you hibernate you are less likely to be writing to system critical areas on the hard disk, but you do of course write a large hibernate file with your current ram session. Sleep mode on a UPS is the best mode if you are worried about optimal system stability =P. I recommend Hibernating or Sleeping over turning the computer off.
