    Hi there,

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

    1. May I know the version of Windows that you are using?
    2. What is the total hard disk space of your laptop?

    I would suggest you to take a backup of all your user data, after which you can try and perform the steps to

    Free up drive space in Windows 10    . Check if that helps.

    Please get back to us if you need any further suggestions.

    HP Laptop Windows XP Data Wipe

    wipe personal data

    I upgraded my HP desktop to windows 10 from windows 7. I now wish to give it to a charity but need to wipe my personal data. I have tried going through settings - recovery - reset but the computer was unable to make any changes. Initially it seemed to
    be working but then when the computer restarted all my files were still there. I tried again but this time got a message saying the computer could not make the requested changes - any suggestions?
