HP Stream storage space fix

How to free up space disk cleanup and add precious storage to the device by using an SD card as an alternative for an Hard Drive in a discreet way by mapping your library folders to the SD card

[@elvisdave2004]

Why would HP sell this at Walmart?

[@michaelruske7659]

i cant even update my laptop because the reserved storage is using up all the space in the 32 c drive i only have 1.22 gb available an i need 8 gb and i dont know what to do ive bought a 116 gb flash drive but i still cant download the update via flash drive so im lost i cant extend my c drive either im lost for answers ie scourerd the internet for anwers but still nothing

[@iampeck8541]

I'll be honest the best thing to do is to back up only the files you need either on a usb drive or in the cloud. And do a clean install, i ran into the same issue where the storage was so full i couldnt even do a factory reset. I just had windows 10 install usb drive delete all partitions and do a fresh install, once you have a clean install of windows on the computer insert the drive you are gonna use to extend the storage then use the steps in the video. i hope this helps

I try to use an external hard drive and it won't let me update it to format it and it wont let me powerwash for the same reason it doesn't have enough space I've been trying everything and it's very frustrating. Might just have to try the SD card.

[@musicsnobgoblin]

By the way I did something similar and downloaded windows 10 because it told me to and it used up all my memory now I can't even find the file.

[@musicsnobgoblin]

I did the same thing Ive gotten alot futher since I posted this comment. You shouldn't have to download it its an option. people will give you the weirdest ways just go to the bottom corner type reset this pc, advanced set up it'll give you alot more options like use windows 10 and the clean all files and wipe machine. You need 10 GB to wipe it or clean it and it takes more then 22 GB to run the machine. I got a little 32 GB thumb disk and it already took 4 GB just for it to run on the machine just like the computer. You can go to disk cleanup in the search bar at the bottom left to keep on top of it but you can't delete everything I've found it and deleted all the files it just made it worse.

Thx in 2023

ANYONE WITH THIS LAPTOP: 1. Disable 'reserved storage' (frees up ~7GB of space) -open elevated command prompt (administrator command/powershell) -type: DISM /Online /Get-ReservedStorageState to check state. -type: DISM /Online /Set-ReservedStorageState /State:Disabled to disable. (to re-anable, use this command with 'Enabled' at the end instead)

How?

what happens if you factory reset it

[@kennel878Xx]

I can't even factory reset mine no matter how hard I try its so funny it says I need at least 5 gigs of space which is impossible almost this computer is almost as bad as Chrome book it definitely takes second place Update: I know I don't have to update this. But I have now thrown that junk in the closet. Toss that thing goodbye and get anything else my God just get anything besides that pos. I got a Lenovo 500gb for Christmas and I love the performance. Please people don't buy this thing. That laptop is garbage I can't believe they even make these
