Weird name partition in ssd. VERY SUSPICIOUS!!!

When I just casually open disk defragmentation app I noticed this weird name partition (image attached, the bottom one on 1st image) so I checked disk management (image attached). Last month I encountered a very bad virus attack and hence had to completely format my SSD drive. Is this a trace or virus itself sitting on the ssd? Do I need to completely format my ssd externally and then re install Windows 10. Please help

The name's not weird. It simply just doesn't have one so the disk defrag tool generates that name from the data it has on the partition. It's a recovery partition created by windows upon install. Just leave it be.

I just check my system and it also has that 450 MB partition with the weird name.  I believe this partition is created by Win 10, I have it in both my boot SSD and the old HDD that I used to have windows in.

Mystery is the source of all true science.
