Recently I performed a factory reset on my Dell laptop. A full scan has been completed, examining 631K files. The estimated time remains around 22 hours and is increasing. Is this correct? Could the reset not have been fully executed? This seems unusually long for a reset, as one would expect a more reasonable duration.

The laptop is approximately 22 hours old. I'm using an antivirus program for protection.
