Two Windows Folders

So i Installed a new SSD in my pc alongside my HDD, tried to clone it onto the SSD but the little windows OS icon didn't change so I'm assuming that everything except the OS moved, so the result is one 18 GB Windows folder in my HDD and another exact copy of that folder on my SSD, so I'm wondering if i should keep the one on my SSD or its just taking up space for no reason or maybe i should remove it from my HDD, because I'm not too sure if the OS migrated to my SSD. Is the OS in the Windows folder? What do I do?

PS: I'm quite new to HDD and SSD stuff so sorry if my question is really noobish

I included a screenshot of my drives, that's the little widows icon I mentioned in the beginning.

Go to BIOS and change new drive as boot drive. Reboot and if you get to desktop, the clone process has been succesful. If it BSODs or something else, it has failed. I don't know about icon, but I assume it marks the drive you have booted from.
