Haha, that title really grabbed my attention. I own two 2TB HDDs—one with Barracuda and the other with WD Blue. About a year after setting up my PC, I noticed I had distinct Program Files, x86 folders, user directories, and Windows partitions on each drive. I thought it might be possible to consolidate everything or clean things up before upgrading from Windows 7 to 10. Let me know if you have any ideas!
Link the storage device you're using as the C: or boot drive and remove all others. Then run the Windows Media Creation Tool for a clean, new installation of Windows 10. After the setup finishes, you can wipe the remaining drive and configure it as the backup to the boot drive. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...tion-media
It seems you have two Windows installations, one on each disk. Just start your system normally, transfer the files from your non-C:/users folder to your C:/users location, and remove the directories on the non-C drive. You should be okay as long as you're not using that installation on the non-C drive. If Windows won't delete them, consider reformatting the non-C drive. After moving the data temporarily to an external HDD, of course.
Have you attempted to remove those additional directories? Are there any noteworthy contents within the program files folders?
Thank you, I'm here to assist. I hope everything resolves smoothly.
