Reinstalled laptop, hard drive is still full, why?
Hello 🙂
I reset my laptop today.
But now I've noticed that the hard drive is still full.
See image:
I've already reinstalled several programs after reinstalling. Have I installed them twice on the hard drive?
And why wasn't the hard drive formatted?
I thought that happens when you reinstall it too?
Do I have to do this separately, and if so, how?
Do I have to reinstall the laptop now that I have formatted the hard drive?
Or how does it all work, formatting the hard drive and resetting the laptop?
By the way, even though the hard drive is still full, the laptop is super fast again!
How can this be if the hard drive is still full?
Yes, I ask a lot of questions, sorry! 😀
Unfortunately, I'm a tech idiot and don't know much about it 😀
So please answer and explain as precisely as possible so that I, a tech idiot, can understand it too 🙂
Best regards and thank you in advance for your answers,
The Witch Lord 🙂

You need to format the SSD/ delete all partitions during the NEW installation.
And where do I do that exactly?
I’ve set it up with the “Windows 10 Refresh Tool (Clean Install) 6.3.13.0“. With the help of this page:

I didn’t even have the choice if I wanted to format the plate or not.
So…

Very pleasing. Then a nice WE.
Hey super, thank you again! With the tutorial video everything worked perfectly! 👌
And finally it explains that it also understands technical bimbos like me. 😆
Thank you.
Release the storage space via Windows setting: setting > Memory. Look at the lower pictures.
When the picture shows, I’ve released over 2 GB.
I also try third-party software to find duplicate files and delete them. I would recommend 4DDiG. https://4ddig.tenorshare.com/en/duplicate-file-deleter.html
Hm, did you reinstall Windows from Windows? If so, delete the WindowsOLD folder.
Run command prompt with the right mouse button and as administrator. Enter there and Powercfg -h off.
Remove Shadow Copies:
Run input request as an administrator. Enter vssadmin list shadowstorage. Enter.
Do not create shadow copies or restrict space
If you don’t know what to enter, type vssadmin /?
