No, you cannot delete the new drive added by Windows after an update.

This approach is not ideal—turn off the overprovisioning setting in Samsung Magician and make your system partition reach its full capacity. The firmware already has 12% extra space reserved. Adding more would only improve performance during heavy, continuous disk access.
When I click drive F, I’m limited to just the help menu, not other settings. But when I select drive D, all options become visible.
Additionally, remember to delete it via DiskPart if you right-click and see the menu similar to the attached image.
@Cyberspirit Apologies for overlooking that—you mentioned having the issue, just like I did to help resolve it. To delete it using diskpart, follow these instructions carefully—be cautious as diskpart can easily mess with your formatting. 1. Launch a command prompt with administrator privileges. If you choose PowerShell, type cmd and navigate to the prompt. 2. Enter "diskpart" without quotes. 3. Run "select disk 0". 4. Execute "list partition" to view your partitions and available space. You should see three partitions and an unallocated area. If everything is correct, select the partition that’s approximately 449MB—this is typically partition 1. 5. Type "select partition 1". Assuming partition number one is the one you want to remove. 6. Input "remove letter=F". You should hear "DiskPart successfully removed the drive letter or mount point."
It's actually partition 2, not sure if that's an issue. The main point is I think I should pick partition 2, but I'll double-check just in case.
You're absolutely correct, I relied on your earlier images, and I've noticed times when the disk arrangement isn't fully shown. Great awareness on your part! Always double-check.

Thanks for the support! The ongoing reminders were really stressful. Appreciate it.
@Cyberspirit Thanks for the kind words, it's been a smooth ride so far. I'm curious if any major issues have popped up lately, especially for 1803. For now, everything seems fine. One of the stronger day-one updates I've tried.
I experienced an unusual issue where my VPN wasn't allowing internet access, which might have been resolved. For regular activities and gaming, there were no major problems, though some users reported needing to adjust certain settings.
