    Factory Reset Full Clean

    Hey guys! So I was trying to do a full clean factory reset last week but I forgot to plug in the charger. After turning my laptop on, it brought me back to my original settings and files but I can no longer do a full clean factory reset. An error popped
    up saying that, "There was a problem resetting your pc" when i tried redo the factory reset. I tried doing a system repair but it said I was missing something. I want to fully clean my acer laptop if possible.

    Thank you for your input!
