I have deleted everything I can. The photos, apps and even the temporary files. My PC is about 6 years old, and I need to factory reset it. It is a HP Laptop 14.

    Hi,

    Please backup your files to an external drive or cloud. Once done, try resetting Windows via Settings.

    • Select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Recovery.
    • Open Recovery settings
    • Under Reset this PC, select Get started.
    • Choose Keep my files or Remove everything.
    • Choose Cloud download.

    Reference: Reset your PC | Microsoft Support

    (If reset fails when using Keep my files option, try "Remove everything" if you've backed up your files already.)

    Alternatively, create a Windows 10 USB setup disk using the Media Creation Tool. Boot from the USB setup disk and cleanly install Windows. See "Clean install" in this article Reinstall Windows with the installation media | Microsoft Support.
