You will have a page to chose what to partition and where to install. Delete all exisitng partitions and it will be formatted.

Windows media creation tool is much easier to use and it will install a clean windows10 with only the windows files.

The only thing you have to do is run it and click through the wizard(assuming you have enough space on your hard drive).

No, there isn't.  That's just not how it works.  If there was then you could store every file that ever existed on a floppy disk.

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

If its fairly new Lenovo laptop and you are willing to stay with current version of OS, you can just run included restore option. There's either button or hole to use in order to access restore menu.

I found this screen which would be the best option

Those are for recovery. Yours' is just tad too old, so you need actual discs. You can order some from Lenovo's support. Or do it as suggested before.
