Question

Laptop help

Mar 18, 2018 12:01PM PDT

I recently made the decision to sell my Acer Aspire One Cloudbook 14. But before I do this, I need to completely rebuild my laptop and clean up all the stations.

The problem is that when I try this it is indicated that I still need 5.82 GB to do this. I have tried to remove as much as possible everywhere, but I am not given any space. I also deleted all programs that I had previously downloaded myself.

I also tried it by pressing F11 at startup and restoring the laptop via there. Here, too, it is indicated that there is not enough space.

Can anyone help me with this?

remove all System Restore Points by turning it off. A program you uninstall is moved there, so just uninstalling doesn't free any space.
