Factory reset said it worked, but didn't. Won't allow another restore due to not enough free disc space.

My Dell has been performing poorly for awhile, so I decided to do the factory restore from the USB.  During the restore, it asked if I wanted to back up my files and I said yes.  The whole process completed and after the reboot many system options and programs are not available.  

I successfully used F12 to set the system to turn off secure boot and to boot from the USB recovery medium.  Everything loaded great but when I went to try the restore again, it says "There is not enough free disc space.  The recovery process has failed."

I ran the systems diagnostics from the boot screen and everything is ok.

I was able to access the internet (the browser seems to be the only program I can use) and downloaded Glary Utilities, ran a general scan and did a disc cleanup.  Only 42GB of my 500GB hard drive is being used.  The USB is a 16GB and has 8GB used.  

Any suggestions?
