I mirrored my HDD with my pny SSD for something temporary. Now I want to delete my SSD data but i don't want to do something bad or wrong.

the easiest way without installing any other software is to use diskpart

open command prompt (admin)
type diskpart and press enter
type list disk and press enter
this shows all drives available, DVD/USB and ssd/hdd, make note of ssd number
type Select disk X - where X is the number of the ssd you want to wipe, change X to that number and press enter
once the drive you want to install on is chosen, type Clean
