You can safely format the old SSD without affecting your current setup. Make sure it’s disconnected before starting the formatting process. This will free up space and allow you to use the new storage as needed.

Choose the 2TB SSD during startup, and it will work properly afterward. Formatting the previous drive is possible now, but it seems the system treats the older device as if it were your main drive—have you confirmed this?

I verified everything, and the new drive is indeed the C drive. My worry was that after restarting post-clone and prioritizing the new drive in BIOS, the old drive remained stuck at full usage for some time without clear reason.

If your new storage device is recognized as your C drive in This PC under Windows, you can format the previous drive without issues. It might have been reorganized after the change, creating an index of its contents.

Power down the PC, disconnect the SATA SSD. If it starts up correctly and functions normally, you can proceed with a clean wipe.

Confirm the process. If successful, restore the old version and format it.
