It uses all of them, because all installed packages need their
dependencies.

It looks like you deleted the source directory without letting portage
know what you'd done.

In that case "emerge --prune --ask gentoo-sources" will do what you
need, but you still need to remove the directories from /usr/src manually
because emerge only removes the files it installed, not any that were
created or modified by you, like when you compiled the kernel.
