Despite the fact that i have only 2.5GB of music on my computer (in iTunes),
iTunes folder takes enormus 23.3 GB of my HDDs space..
Anyone knows what those 21GB is?

Firstly go to the view menu and select show duplicates to make sure multiple copies are not the problem

If that still hasn't fixed it (and if you have enough room) select consolidate library from the advanced menu and choose a new music location

This will copy all the music in your itunes library so that now you know the songs in the new folder are only those that you see in iTunes

How big is the new consolidated library?

Ok man... thank you but i found the problem... acctualy i checked folder: "iTunes music" but later on I found that in that folder there are also movies so that is the reason it is so big...
Have no idea why they put iTunes movies into folder named iTunes music... :D
Thank you anyway

Probably because the movies support came out after - iTunes was originally music only, so I guess they just added the movies in to the itunes folder
