Wipoing a Windows 11SE Device with full hard drive
We have a number of Windows11SE devices wit small hard drives (64gb) These generally are fine, but when they get to a stage where the hard drive is totally full, they cannot do anything I can't eve...

Because Windows11SE is OEM installed only, and theres no way of getting it, we were a bit stuck
IN the end, we've been able to create recovery drives from other WIn11SE devices of the same spec, using the in built tool, and restoring from them seems to work- its SLOW, but it works, and doesn't need an Intune wipe command to run

Are you able to access the Windows recovery environment?
You might be able to do certain operations from there that'd enable you to reset the machine from intune later.

The Windows 11 bootable installation media should also give you access to drive formatting features.
I do not know if formatting the drive will impact autopilot/intune reset.
