Memory issue continues after factory reset.

I am not an expert so bare with me.

My C drive was always full even after I moved all my pictures, movies, music to the D drive. I could not find why the drive was not creating space so I decided to reset to factory settings to give it a fresh start.

I reset to factory setting using the F8 key before the start up screen as I have no disk. Windows confirmed that all my files would be deleted etc and the laptop would go back to how I bought it.

So I have turned it on, have not downloaded anything and it shows:
OS(C: )33.0GB free of 58.5GB and Local disk(D: ) 97.8GB free of 164GB. Am I correct to think that this is not right?
Please help.

TIA

Post screenshot of disk management with all fields visible. OS 58.5-33.0=24.5GB used for win7 is quite normal. What is D.... did you create and fill it, or was it created by "restore to factory settings"? Just a look on D and check if there are files you made yourself

I looked into the D: drive and there were still photos and some other things that I deleted so that has freed up some space.
I 'think' the D drive was empty to start with but I am not sure, I have attached the screen shot (hope I did it right), are you able to tell if there is anything related to windows or if I can erase everything.
I want to get rid of cache and any files that are not absolutely needed for a fresh start.

Thanks for your help.

It looks like to me that the recovery just re-created disk D with everything that was there before.
I salved on an external hardrive everything that I wanted to keep and was really hoping to start it from scratch with no old files or folders.

I haven't got a windows disc as it didnt come with the laptop when i bought it.

i think you are right, i don't understand how it would restore to factory settings but leave drive D as it was... any advice on what to do?

So you have backupped all you want to keep? Not in root of external I hope... easy to find?
windows 7 Home premium 64-bit -english I assume?
You have a valid product key? See COA sticker on back of laptop. Maybe under battery or battery slot.

Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 ISO

Yes definitely everything I need is safe, I didnt do a windows back up just tranfered all I needed like photos and docs to an external hard drive, I don't need anything that is on the laptop except windows . There is a sticker on the back of the laptop with a bar code but the numbers have faded I cannot read them. The only thing that is clear is the service tag.
