Doing Clean Install Can I delete failed Ex HDD Path before or after

Good Afternoon
This is a "speccy" capture of an old path to a ex hdd until a Reboot, why is this still showing in the Folder Tree it's not on this PC and hasn’t been for a year? My question please is, can I get rid of this 931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-75WN4A0 (SATA ) 38 °C can I remove it via Disc manager?
I am about to do a Clean Install everything is backed up is to this Toshiba
Drive (F:\ F, G, H, I, partition’s 4 including ( F:)

I will disconnect the Toshiba first and just switch off my WiFi or AT the Family used Telstra Internet Modem
“SPECCY DATA STORAGE BEGNS HERE:
931GB TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device (USB (SATA) ) 38 °C
(F:\ F, G, H, I, 4 Partitions
Thanks for any help you can give regards Dasha

If you perform a clean install then you will delete all partitions other than data comprising your Windows O/S. By definition any paths are deleted.

Thanks delchina I meant the Toshiba Ex HDD F with 4 Patitions on it?? I will have thaT dissconneced During the lean Instal of
OC (C)

The absolute safest approach is only to have the system disk in place + the Win 10 installation disk connected.

dalchina appreciated Dasha
