Windows 10 seeing a bootable installation that doesn't really exist
I've had to reinstall Windows 10 Pro from scratch onto my main storage device (an NVMe drive) a number of times in recent months. One annoyance is that sometimes when booting it gives me a choice of Windows installs to boot from, however, there is only one actual installation (the new installed one). The other installation it sees must be an SSD that used to have a Windows 10 installation, but has had all its visible files removed. How do I fix this SSD so it will no longer be seen as a bootable Windows installation without losing the files/folders that I have put there? What/where is the hidden information (that doesn't show up when I make hidden files visible)?
