I possess two solid-state drives. One contains your C drive, and the other once held various Linux distributions. I plan to use the Linux SSD solely for gaming now. Both your Windows SSD and the Linux SSD include an EFI partition. Using disk management, I removed everything except the EFI partition on the Linux SSD. Can I remove the EFI partition from the Linux SSD without affecting the Windows version? I included a screenshot if it would be useful. Disk 4 is the SSD with the EFI partition I wish to delete.

Open cmd, navigate to diskpart, choose the correct disk, then perform a clean operation.
