    Windows 11 reset - deleting User Files


    I'm preparing for a reset of my Windows 11 laptop. It was upgraded from Windows 10 some time ago.The operating system is on drive C and personal file eg My Documents, Downloads, Pictires are on drive D.When I reset am I correct that all files on drive D will be retained and all files on Drive C will be re moved except User Files.I have lots of user files from various apps that I will not wish to re-use.After reseting could I delete all remaining User files before reinstalling my required apps to free up more drive C space?ThanksMark

    :)
