Hi, Jim, turn off System Restore & turn it back on and all your restore
points will be gone.

Hi Jim,

There is no option to select individual restore points for removal. Using Disk Clean-up
will remove all but the most recent. Adjusting the amount of disk space (smaller) System
Restore uses to store restore points will delete the oldest restore points first on a FIFO
(first in first out) basis. So you could reduce the amount of disk space used to purge
older restore points then adjust the size back up.

You can find tips for adjusting disk space usage in this page.
