Windows 10: System Restore

I updated my system from Windows7 to Windows 10 earlier this month. My printer did an update. After that my I could not scan to my printer. I wanted to do a system restore. Looked for it in the start you search bar. Didn't know in Windows 10 it was renamed Recovery. I saw Reset this PC. Clicked on that thinking that Windows renamed it that way. I saw no dates so I thinking it would just restore to the last date. It did it's thing. Didn't look normal but thought it was a new way for Windows 10. Once it was done not much works and I seem to have lost most of everything I had. I did save before I updated to Windows 10. Tried to run that but I could only get a few things. Lost my google chrome browser, favorites, and the shortcut icons I have don't work either. Please help? Is there any way I can undo the Reset and get my computer back to the way it was?

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 (C Properties
Disable System Protection (OFF and ON) in System Protection for OS (C
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.
