How do I reset my laptop?

jwzdaantje · Mar 18, 2018

I recently made the decision to sell my Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14. But before I do this, I need to completely rebuild my laptop and clean up all the stations.

The problem is that when I try this it is indicated that I still need 5.82 GB to do this. I have tried to remove as much as possible everywhere, but I am not given any space. I also deleted all programs that I had previously downloaded myself.

I also tried it by pressing F11 at startup and restoring the laptop via there. Here, too, it is indicated that there is not enough space.

Can anyone help me with this?

USAFRet :

Windows 10 Home 64-bit Edition

I did went to the windows settings then clicked on updates and security and on system recovery. I then clicked on reset this PC and delete everything
That was the first way I tried

The second way was when The laptop was starting up I repeatedly pressed F11 when the acer logo showed up, so I could reset it in the menu that showed up.

OK then, just do a full clean install of Win 10.

Create a USB install for Win 10.
Here: https

/www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Boot from that, and do a full wipe and reinstall.

When it asks 'where', select Custom.
You'll be presented with a list of all existing partitions
Select each, Delete.
Proceed on.

I cant go through these steps because i dont have enough storage to install windows 10 on my usb flash drive. My storage shows that is is almost full but I deleted everything from it and it doesnt show more space. Thats why I cant reset the laptop or install other programs

An 8GB USB stick will work. All on it WILL be deleted.
If you don't have one that size...then you need to go buy one.
