    Restore points not found


    I have been trying to use a restore point on my Windows 10 PC in order to recover from a driver issue. No matter which restore point I choose I get an error stating that the file is not found. What is the default location that the restore point files are saved? Is it possible that they are being saved to one location but the restore app is looking in a different location? Is this location selectable? The restore point GUI says I have several available but none of them can be located. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    How to delete inactive System Image Restore Points in System Restore

    Windows 10 64-bit.
    When I click "show more restore points" in System Restore I see a bunch of old "system image restore points" that were deleted in past and do not correspond to any currently active restore points. Clicking any of these old restore points, I simply get an error message saying they could not be found, and to select another restore point instead.I would like to delete these restore points listings but have been unable to do so.
    So far, I have tried steps mentioned below without any luck :

    Disk Cleanup through (CRestore points not found :) Properties
    Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (CRestore points not found :)
    Disk Space Usage to minimum (slider button all the way to the left then 'Delete all restore points for this drive'),
    Delete all shown Restore points in CCleaner (the problem ones do not show here),
    Reset Windows Backup to Default in Windows 10 with 'Reset_Windows_Backup.bat' utility.

    Any suggestions highly welcome.
