ive installed windows on a new ssd, but still have it installed on my old hard disk. How do i remove windows on my old hard disk without deleting all the data on it? i plan on using the old hdd for a storage drive.

uHmmm.
C: is usually assigned to the drive you booted from. If you are sure the old drive is c: then yes simply delete the folder. You may wish to visit disk management (run diskmgmt.msc) and you will be able to see which drive is assigned to what letter.

Yes C: is the boot drive, but its not partitioned, my mistake when i fist built my computer. So i just delete the windows folder, set primary boot drive as ssd via bios, then everything's good?
