HI

 

I want to sell this laptop but I can't reset it as it keeps asking for more storage space. I've deleted virtually everything except the windows system itself and it still says I need more memory - help??

It's most likely NOT memory but a lack of Disk Space -- as your PC has only 32GB of disk space and most of that is already used up by Windows.

 

However, here are some things you can do to recover some of the disk space:

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

In addition, I have found the utility Cleanmgr+ to have LOTS of options for removing Windows junk, including log files. I use it practically every day. You can get it from here: https://www.getclone.app/download/category/11-cleanmgr

Also, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html
