Go to solution Solved by ShadowCaptain,

So I'm reinstalling windows, and my question is...How do I remove everything from the drive I have windows on? I can format my storage one, but not my main drive...How do I remove EVERYTHING to get a clean install from it again?

 

When you go to install windows you are taken to a screen where you can erase the drive, set up partitions etc. You can do it here
