Well, since you can't delete individual files from the System Restore Points that are stored in System Volume Information, nor can you delete individual restore points, go to Control Panel, System, System Restore. Turn it off. This flushes all of the restore points. Then turn it back on, and it will automatically create a new restore point. Make sure you keep your AV software up to date.
