does it safe to format a secondry hdd instead of deleting all of the data inside it ?

sosolola · Nov 28, 2015

I have my windows 10 installed on my ssd
also I have 2 hdds one for media and 1 for my games
and I have 500 GB hitachi hdd I use for downloads
I want to delete 200 GB of garbage data from it
to right click and delete
or format the hdd ?
does format that drive affect windows 10 speed and performance ?

Just delete the data. It won't affect the SSD either way.

but if I delete 200 GB of data these data will be sent to recycle bin also registry and will slow down OS and affect performance
that what people told me

sosolola :

So then you empty the recycle bin.
It will not slow anything down.

The recycle bin is like a fail safe so if you delete something can change your mind you can always revert back.

Just hold Shift button while clicking on delete, it will delete files without them going thru Recycle bin !!
