    Tried to reset my laptop, but it says "not enough disc space"


    My windows 10 laptop has been stuck on the “getting windows ready dont shut down your computer” screen for days. We decided to reset the laptop after seeing that that resolved the problem. We attempted to do a factory reset from this screen, but it says “not enough disc space” so we have litterally nothing else we can do, as the pc is stuck on this screen. Anyone know of any other ways to fix it? (I already tried waiting- i left it for 1 1/2 days and still no result)

    Not enough disc space to reset/ will not log in

    HELP!

    It is the week of finals and a students worst nightmares are coming true.

    A couple of weeks ago OneNote for windows was not syncing and giving problems despite resetting etc. I downloaded microsoft 365 so I can use the optimize tool on my notebook this worked for a while... then it started running low on space. Ever since my labtop
    and tablet have been glitching. I did a windows update a couple days ago and have been having issues since.

    Using the suggestions given to get more disc space, my laptop shut off. Since then I have not been able to log back into my account. It says i am offline and use the last password... of course I tried this and still no luck, when running command prompt the
    password works, I am unable to try and pull up the hidden administration account, I tried to see if I could get it connected to the internet but I believe something may not be working right on the networking part. I have been at this for far too long so I
    get to the point of just accepting that I need to reset it. HA! It will not even let me completely wipe it because it is low on disc space. Using an external USB is not an option I tried loading it 3 times and all times right at the end it failed to load......

    Someone please help, I will be forever grateful
