I unintentionally created a partition and installed Linux on your games drive instead of your OS drive. How challenging is it to remove the Linux partition and restore it to just Windows so you can later move it to your C drive?

Basic steps: handle Windows disk management, remove the partition, create a new one. Also, if you erased your games drive, all data is lost.

I haven't cleared it, so I can retain the information.

Was der Laufwerk noch Platz für eine Partition hatte, bevor du Linux installiert hast? Wenn nicht, hast du die Daten gelöscht.

Click the start button, choose disk management. Click on the partition you made, then pick delete volume. Next, right-click your games drive and select extend volume. In the window that opens, choose all available memory and click OK. Your games drive should now be using the full space on the hard drive. NOTE: as @KarathKasun mentioned, this works only if you didn’t wipe the drive during Linux installation and instead created a new partition.

It worked, the data is okay. I just need to revert my Linux installation so I can install it on the intended drive.
