It seems you just proceeded through most of the setup steps. Eventually, you'll encounter an "advanced" mode or manual installation option that isn't enabled by default. You'll need to access that section to remove them. Since I haven't handled a Lenovo device before, it's possible these settings differ, though they shouldn't be hidden.
It was exactly what I expected—there were multiple hidden partitions. The setup didn’t display them, and it was frustrating to try to remove them. That’s why I mentioned "hidden" OEM partitions initially; they’re not supposed to be visible, or else you’d lose your important Lenovo files! No worries. I didn’t mean it was all manufacturers doing this, but I’m also skeptical Lenovo is the only one doing it.
Perfect setup, system reset, fresh installation... These tasks bring excitement to those who don’t spend much time on computers. I suspect Microsoft designed the reset feature especially for users who feel forced to reinstall Windows regularly—monthly, weekly, or even yearly. It’s likely they wanted to make it easier for people who grumble about constant updates. If it doesn’t work, Microsoft offers a USB creator tool so you can start fresh. Or simply choose a clean install that suits you. Mac and Linux users often joke about how Windows users seem to demand their system be reinstalled every cycle. In reality, the OS is just background support for hardware and software—it’s not the ultimate goal to have the system installed outright. Ultimately, if someone prefers a yearly clean install, that’s their decision. But why would anyone complain when something went wrong from the start? It probably started with a reset or reinstall choice.
It cleared up the space on my Lenovo machine and removed all those unnecessary apps they installed. It also got my laptop running properly again, which was surprising since a forced Windows update had previously damaged most of its features. I think you're right—most people don’t reset their computers just for fun, though some might.
? How is any of this complaining, I simply asked a question on a forum and was looking for help because I ran into an issue.
