How can i completely clear my computer of everything on it? - Jen - 02-17-2013 03:08 AM
My friend gave me this Dell laptop and it's pretty crappy, but it works. He took out his USB and i have a brand new one for it, but some of his things are still on it. Music etc.

So reformat the drive and reinstall Windows.

Hello Jen,
I am from Dell Social Media and Community.
Dell Systems ship with a factory image so that you can restore it original factory settings. This will delete all the data on a system and restore it. Follow the link below to restore your system to original factory settings:

If you are unable to perform Dell PC Restore by Symantec, it could be because of the corruption of the file/partition during a previous install. However, you can follow the link below to manually install the operating system using the recovery discs.
