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

Version 1803 now includes an additional drive or partition, likely for restoring older Windows versions. You can safely delete it after backing it up to avoid losing data. The warning about Drive F running low on space is normal and should be addressed before deletion.
It didn’t install any new disks, which makes me wonder about this. It might have assigned the system a reserved partition name—something odd but likely fixable. Usually such clear errors appear only when a drive is in use, so it’s hard to say for sure. Also, just a note—the old Windows files are kept at C:\Windows.old, and they’re not on another partition, so that seems unlikely to be the issue.
I just saw that it's a partition on my operating system drive. Here are some screenshots. Let me know if you need an English version—my OS is in Hungarian. Spoiler: Edited May 1, 2018 by Cyberspirit. Added a picture with the files.
It seems there’s plenty of free space available on your Lemez 0 drive. The article explains that the System Reserved partition is generated during Windows installation and holds boot information, while the OEM partition is the manufacturer’s recovery disk used for restoring or reinstalling Windows. Deleting either could affect recovery options. Decide based on your needs.
It's strange since you just upgraded Windows without reinstalling. Perhaps your Win 10 Pro key is an OEM key.
Considering the available storage, what options do you have in mind for using that extra space?
Thank you for the images; they were very helpful. As mentioned before, do not remove them. Just detach the drive letter from Disk Management (click right-click > Change drive letters and paths, then choose the letter from the list and click "remove"). Since Windows doesn’t rely on that letter, it uses the partition GUID stored in BCD. Also, right-click your C:\ folder and expand it to utilize the remaining 14 gigabytes of unused space—wasting that space isn’t useful unless it’s an encrypted non-Windows volume, where Windows might be misreporting it.
