    Freeing space on windows c drive so I can reset laptop


    I was hoping to simply factory reset my laptop so I can solely use it for work while I work from home. This however is proving difficult. Each time I go to reset it the pictured message pops up. I've tried so many ways to clear it and nothing is working, no space is being made. HELP! I'm not bothered about what I lose on it as there's nothing much on there anyway. I just want it back to factory settings so I can start again. Thanks in advance!Freeing space on windows c drive so I can reset laptop [​IMG]

    C Drive losing free space

    Hello,

    I have a new laptop. On 17/08/19, C:\ had 85GB free space out of 117 GB total. Every week, it is losing about 5GB free space, and currently stands at 66.7 GB. I do not understand why free space should be lost. Can someone please help?

    Here are salient items of information:

    1. 128 GB SSD drive + 1 TB mechanical drive
    2. Only 1 active windows user
    3. No system restore points, checked as per suggestions available on www.
    4. "Downloads" folder configured on D drive
    5. "Documents" folder configured on D drive
    6. New programs installed on D drive
    7. Anti virus scan run - no infection found
    8. Drive Statistics: 117 GB total, 66.7 GB free, 25.0 GB in 162,742 files / 35817 folders

    At this rate, the drive will fill up in 3 months. *Shock

    • My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)
    • I am unable to install the update,
    • I suspect the windows 10 need this much space and it is some kind of glitch,
    • Please suggest a way to free up some space as I don't prefer to format partition C:
