My asus rog laptop won’t start up, just goes to the blue screen with the many ways of repairing it. Tried everything including hard reset and safe mode and I keep getting the same error: not enough space on disk. I’m stuck in this. Any help?

You need to boot with a bootable USB Key and then you need to remove files and documents to make space to get started. That should allow you to get started.
Once started, if you continue to have issues, back up your data and initiate a fresh install. The lack of disk space could have caused corruption of the operating system.
1) You can boot from a Linux LiveUSB, mount the NTFS drive, and purge files which accumulate with use, but which you can run Windows without. More on those in a moment.
2) You can also, when you boot with a LiveUSB, move files from the NTFS drive onto a second USB drive, either a USB flash drive, external SSD, or external HDD.
To make the LiveUSB from another Windows PC:
Download Kubuntu's ISO file at
Next, check for download errors by
Make a LiveUSB following these instructions on a Windows PC
Once you make a LiveUSB, use your ASUS Laptop's boot menu and choose to boot from the LiveUSB. You will find the Kubuntu system pretty much Windows-like, but there's help at and if needed.
1) (continued) Erasable locations (substitute your user name in Windows for YOURUSERNAME):
C:\Windows\Temp C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\ C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\ C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\CrashReports\ C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Code Cache\Js C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\cache\ C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Temp\ and I'm sure there are many, many more places to clean up.
