cannot reset windows 10

Solution
What type of reset were you doing? Full or keep files/settings? I assume full since you say you removed all your files.

If full, try doing a clean install as its possible the Reset wants to use a partition that doesn't exist. I believe it uses the recovery partition that some installs may not have.

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

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

If you can't create the ISO for same...

If you can't create the ISO for same reason (not enough space)< just use another PC to make it.
