How to delete windows from an old drive?

[Crazyshot14]

Recently I added a Samsung EVO 870 SSD to my build. I installed my Windows on there, but now I still have Windows on my HDD taking up space. I can't find any way online to get rid of those files without using a third party program and I would prefer not to. So how do I delete those Windows files from the HDD?

Right click on D:\Windows, choose "delete"

This will wipe out the old windows directory.

If you're certain you don't need the data on the HDD, reformatting it will do the trick.
