I've relied on an HDD for both boot and long-term storage, but recently switched to using an SSD as my primary drive. I still have my HDD for extra space, though I'm curious about the impact of removing the Windows folder from it. Should I keep it as is or explore another way to erase everything without deleting other files?

You are starting from your SSD with the current Windows setup. The system is not launching any other versions of Windows on different drives.

@C2dan88 should consider removing the Windows folder or keeping it on the HDD based on your needs.
