Windows error

[necee99]

I have a windows 2 in 1 tablet that came with windows 8. I was able to upgrade to win 10 but never fully deleted previous windows. it says its deleted but my storage is holding on to temporary files that I cant delete. I have tried compressing files, file cleanup and disk fragmentation, etc . I even tried to restore it to factory but I get the error "there was a problem resetting your pc" and that some files are corrupted and no changes could be made. I tried running sfc/scannow as admin and I get the error that it cant be fixed. I have attached the screen shot. has any had this problem and fixed it themselves. please help this tech enthusiast. thanks so much.

I would try a clean installation of windows 10. having previously associated a microsoft account to your user and session of your current installation.

Try to reboot the Windows 10 in Safe mode and then delete unwanted files, this will surely help.

Would that mean I will have to purchase a new copy of Windows. Windows 8 came with my tablet previously. Then they offered a free upgrade download to 10. I was never able to successfully remove the previous win 8. Even though now it says it is No longer on my system. But I think window 8is still there hiding.
