Product: 14-af110nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

This laptop only came with a 32 gig SSD.  It's running out of space, so I deleted some apps.  To my surprise, the remaining hard drive space was reduced rather than increased.

 

I tried all the usual things - disk cleanup, empty recycle bin, compression, etc.  Also tried to restore the laptop to factory settings, but got a message that there wasn't enough storage to perform that function.

 

What's going on here?  How is it possible to delete stuff then wind up with less HD space?
