Need to make space on small Laptop Hard Drive

[Brama]

I need help figuring out how to make space on my laptop I got for college. I've had it for a year and the storage space is so capped I don't have room for Microsoft Office when I tried to reinstall it. I try doing all the basic space making methods like disk clean up, deleting files, and uninstalling programs. I even uninstalled updates but more just installed. I literally cannot find anything else to delete or remove from this laptop without deleting something rather important. Any suggestions?

 

I was just going to simply do a factory reset but I don't even have enough space to do that. I only have 444mb free out of 28GB

It was back up files for my iPhone I believe. Big Apple Computer file. I deleted. Not I have 7hb of space and I can factory reset. Thanks.

Buy an SSD and a usb external drive adapter, install the SSD into the PC and do a clean windows install, then migrate what files you need over from the drive to the new system.
