I don't have room to download El Capitan but have never wiped and restored my Macbook Pro. Please explain the best process. Currently running OS X 10.10.5 (14F1909) Darwin 14.5.0. I do have complete backup using TimeMachine.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012)
turn off your mac and when you turn it back on, hold command r until loading bar pops up, let it load, and when its done, click on disk utility, then delete your Macintosh HD disk, or whatever your disk is named! WARNING: this will wipe your computer to factory settings. then go back and click reinstall OS X. This will install lion on you computer. Then its done installing, you can go through the setup process of your computer again, and then you will have enough room to install el capitan! 😉
