I have windows 10 Professional re-installed on my computer after a blue screen. Full reset. since then I keep getting messages that I have no disk space. I see that I have two Program Files, Program Files and Program Files (x86). I believe the second is new and it seems to contain exactly the same information as the first. I tried to delete but it said I need to be administrator, which I previously was so something must have happened in the reset to change this. I went into command prompt to enable hidden administrator account and was successful but while it was loading it stopped short with a message that I don't have enough disk space. Now when I log in as admin there is nothing, can't even type in search, a lone recycle bin in top corner, task view icon (empty) and windows start icon (empty). I tried to delete Admin account and redo again in command prompt but told i was unsuccessful. Can someone help me please? Ann
 
Solution
Program Files folder is for 64bit programs and Program Files (x86) folder is for 32bit programs. Those are system folders and can't be removed, not without consequences anyway. Whatever is installed in there should be properly uninstalled, you can't just delete everything as you want.
