On my secondary 4tb hard drive i have about 1.6 tb of unallocated space that i cant modify in disk management. what can i do to get rid of it and combine it with the rest of the hard drive? I don't mind wiping the whole hard drive but i'm out of ideas.
thanks for the help

Go into disk management, right click on the right side area of the drive with the blue line and select delete volume, then the whole thing will be a single unpartitioned space. Then click on the unpartitioned space and create a volume, the wizard will come up and you should select GPT.
