    Can't do a factory reset because of not enough space.


    I wanted to do a factory reset on Windows 11, but i need 19 more GB of space appereantly. The rpobelm is that i tried doing EVERYTHING to free up the space. Uninstalling programs that i dont need at all, cleaning temporary files, cleaning cache and everything and it only freed up 3 GB. Please could someone tell me what can be consuming so much space?

    :)

    Factory reset... now missing 40+ GB of hard drive space?

    Good evening everyone!

    So, I just got finished doing a nice fresh factory reset as Windows did some updates and my computer run slower than molasses in January.

    After it was done, I had some 60-70 (out of 118) GB of free space on my SSD.

    Short story shorter I had to do it again.

    Now I have only 26 GB of free space.

    Can anyone make any suggestions please? Can't do a factory reset because of not enough space. :)
