    I reset my pc using USB and now have a problem. (Help!)

    So I reset my Windows 10 Laptop using a USB drive, and it worked. However, I have problem that I was hoping someone can help me with.
    I reset it twice to hopefully remove this โ€˜send link to your deviceโ€™ slot, but now thereโ€™s two of them. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if they take up any space on my drive, and how to remove them.

    Found this for hope that one of them helps.

    Chrome
    Want to disable 'Send to Your Devices' in Google Chrome? Here's how to eliminate it on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS effectively.


    FireFox
    It’s 2019 friends. We don’t have to keep emailing and texting ourselves links. It’s fussy to copy and paste on a mobile device. It’s annoying to ha

      But the devices shown are not my phone or ipad, itโ€™s my laptop. And itโ€™s showing 2 because I reset it again in order to get rid of it as I thought all my old files were still on my computer even after I factory reset it. I donโ€™t mind it being there, just want to know if my files and apps are still taking up space on my laptop.

        Which was answered in post # 2 for both Chrome and Firefox on how to remove them. As far as taking up space no links take up very little space.

        Now in post # 3

        If does not matter if it is you phone laptop or server that is listed there compared to the information that is supplied. You asked on how to remove them.

        To answer if the files are still there on the laptop that you preformed the factory reset on there are several ways to preform a factory resets two if them will wipe files. Have you looked for the files on the laptop.

        This will also depend if you are asking about the laptop that the link is sending to and if that is a different laptop than the one that you reset twice.[/color]
