I am running windows 7.

My hard drive is getting pretty full, and i know my computer is full of useless stuff

there is to much of it go just go through and get rid of it all.

I am wondering if there is a way to factory reset, or something like that.

i just want to revert back so it's like a brand new computer ready to go.

 

sorry if this is kind of hard to read.

I would do a clean install if you really wanted a fresh start.

I should be studying.

is it a OEM desktop or laptop

 

there should be a factory partition which you can use to revert back to factory fresh OS

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

oh OEM is like Acer,HP,Dell Lenovo, etc

 

CyberPowerPC is semi OEM

 

but hey contact them to see if your system has a reserved partition for the recovery OS

 

else well just pop the Windows DVD and fresh install the OS

a partition which you cannot access in windows 

 

but can be bootable during startup to run recovery

Get windows 8. It has a "refresh" option that does exactly that.
