Windows 10: Disk Space Status following Windows 10 Reset

I am resetting an old PC that I plan to donate, sell or give away. I am using the Windows 10 "Reset this PC" feature with the options "remove apps and files", "clean the drive" and "download and reinstall Windows" (cloud download). Will this procedure adequately erase all file space left behind from the previous installation? In the past when I've parted with an old PC I have erased the unused space with CCleaner or something similar.
