how do i clear all system restore points?

System Restore. Check 'Disable System Restore, and OK, reboot. Now
have Folder Options - View set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide
Protected mode ones and delete everything in the System Volume
Information folder on each drive

Start SR up again, and I suggest reviewing the settings for each drive.
There is not much point having it enabled on data drives, and on ones
with System or Programs I would reduce the space allotted if more than
say 1GB - I use 500MB, the minimum is 200 which will only handle maybe a
week of points. But the default of 12% of a drive seems too much for
its own good on modern large drives.

In the ordinary way, if you are not trying to get a clean start, it is
usually better to use Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools
- Disk Cleanup and in the More Options take the one to reduce to the
most recent restore point
