I want to delete all restore points and free space, but I learned that a virus had disabled the turning off of system restore.
I can't even find system restore in the gpedit.msc…. what shall I do? Are there any free fixer software there?

here are three known safe ways to delete restore points stored on your computer. These ways are described below:
Disk Cleanup – Launch the Disk Cleanup tool and then select the more options tab. On this tab you will find a section for System Restore. If you press the Clean Up button for that section, Windows will delete all restore points except for the most recent one.
Turn off System Restore – Just by turning off System Restore all your restore points will be deleted. Unless you want this to happen, be careful that you don't mistakenly delete all your restore points by disabling system restore.
System Restore runs out of storage space – If system restore runs out of the storage space that has been allocated towards its use, it will delete the oldest restore point in order to create space for the new restore point.
Boot in safe mode and then switch off system restore from there and then reboot.
