can you show us a screen shot of disc management? Chrome has grown but not that much :)

If you did a full wipe, it might be faster to just do a clean install as it sounds to me like the reset only touched C drive and you may still have other partitions on drive it ignored

if you want to do full install, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
