I've been having storage issues with my PC for the last year, and today I finally got fed up with not having any space after deleting all my personal files and decides to factory reset the whole damn thing.

Come to find out that in order to factory reset the laptop I needed a recovery environment and lo and behold, that required space on my laptop because apparently I'm somehow missing files required for a factory reset.

WHY DO I NEED EXTRA FILES TO RESET MY LAPTOP.

After combing through all of my storage again to try and make space, TWICE, I still didn't have enough to download windows 11 or the windows media whatever so that I could finally reset it. So I just said screw it, and deleted absolutely everything off of my laptop that I possibly could. Everything I could get rid of, its gone.

So the good news is, I had space for windows 11 and windows media.

Bad news, I still for some reason CANT FREAKING RESET MY LAPTOP.

Worse news, my laptop is connected to the internet but is now running into "The connection has been reset" wall, which means I can't even troubleshoot the problem online from my laptop anymore.

I'm out of guesses, and I really just need someone to help me figure it out or tell me I'm completely f*cked so I can just move on. This has been the most frustrating experience of my entire week, I just wanted to factory reset my laptop.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
