CCleaner does not remove any restore points, unless you use the restore point section of ccleaner (Under tools) and even then removes any except for the latest Restore point
ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Did you have Advanced\Wipe Free Space ticked?

You may have accidentally disabled system restore.
Control Panel>Backup and Restore Center>Tasks>Create a restore point or change settings>System Properties>System Protection. Under Available Disks you must have your System drive ticked.
