Windows 10 64 bit. I have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB that is almost full because I think I just store too much on it. I would like to start storage over by erasing all stored info on the drive and then select those files/folders I want to store.
To my way of thinking, the first thing to do would be to reformat the drive. If this thought is correct, is there any downside to reformatting the drive and how do I do the reformatting?
So, after reformatting, I'd like to customize storage, but I am somewhat confused about what to choose...Personal folders vs Specific folders. I'd like to store pictures, documents, emails (Thunderbird), music (iTunes), and some other files/folders not showing in Seagate choices. If I were to choose "Specific folder," it looks as though then choosing Users, I'd get what I want except for emails--how do I get emails? Furthermore, I don't understand why when expanding Windows (C), I don't see all the folders that are within C on Windows Explorer??? Here take a look at what's available:

Lastly, I imagine that I should also backup Recovery Image D??? Not sure why, but seems like a good idea.
