Delete Windows Partition on Second HDD?

An additional option to consider: making a backup image.
Partitions can be deleted one at a time or all at one time using command line.
Diskpart clean can wipe the whole drive (make sure you use the applicable drive number.
The drive will become unallocated > then create a GPT or MBR partition.

I find MiniTool Partition Free is simple to use. It uses a simple graphical display and you can peruse the contents of hidden partitions before deletion. Delete the partitions you no longer need then extend the remaining partition to make use of the spare space. Ensure you backup the drive first in case you accidentally delete data you need.

Well thing is that on my old HDD I never separated partitions I just left it as is. As in its a 1tb HDD that I installed my Steam Games in the X86 folder I'm now transferring. Is their any way i can get rid of Windows without deleting my entire HDD.

"on my old HDD I never separated partitions"??

Your old HDD shows 3 separate partitions as far as I can see.

It's unclear what you are trying to do.

"get rid of Windows"???

delete certain partitions on certain drives???

"delete Windows" from a particular partition without deleting anything else from that partition?

If you want to delete a partition, have you tried right clicking and choosing "delete volume"?

Or are you trying to do something else??

You can't "delete" an entire drive unless you mean disconnect the cables. You can delete partitions. You can reformat partitions.

Rephrase or reword if you can.

All you could do is delete individual folders no longer being used. You kind of made a mess of things by not creating a separate partition on the drive for your steam games.

Essentially I want to free up space that the old Windows installation took up on the older HDD and delete the windows install files and such.
