Im trying to reset my laptop as I'm handing to someone else but it keeps saying i need more storage to complete the reset. However, i have already removed photos/videos and the likes of so its basically all free. I have no idea what could be wrong. Any ideas? Many thanks

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
