Can't update because of a lack of storage space

Hi Scott,

Updating Windows 10 adds new features and security patches which require additional storage space on your hard drive. Update files are also compressed and need to be expanded during the update process. Normally, it is recommended that you have at least 8GB
of free space on your device before applying a major update.

A few example of the things that eat up precious hard drive space are Windows temporary files, temporary internet files, downloaded program files, and offline web pages. To help free up space on your computer, we suggest that you use the
Disk Cleanup tool. This lets you remove files that are no longer needed or that can be safely deleted. To delete temporary files:

• 
  Search for Disk Cleanup from the taskbar and select it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Under Files to delete, select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
  
• 
  Select OK.
  

If you need to free up more space, you can also delete system files:

• 
  In Disk Cleanup, select Clean up system files.
  
• 
  Select the file types to get rid of. To get a description of the file type, select it.
  
• 
  Select OK.

Laptop will not update due to lack of disk space

Hp laptop 32GB drive, cannot down load updates cannot restore due to lack of memory.

Removed all programs and apps except those preloaded.

Tried to remove windows 7 but is not listed in disk clean up.

Everything I try I get message that I need additional 8gb memory and to delete programs and apps. There is nothing to remove to get additional space.

I currently have 24.2 gb used out of 29.1gb available.

How do I get out off this mess and update to a newer vesion of windows 10
