So, I have an old HDD in my system that was the C: drive in my old PC that is now installed a the D: drive. To keep all the info on the drive I didn't wipe it before installing it, but now its starting to fill up(~20 gbs). The windows that is on there takes up about 17 gbs. The problem is that I need permission to delete the folders, even though I am the only user on the pc.

Just delete the windows folder and program files. Then delete the boot partition.

 

 

Easiest way is to just format the whole drive.

 

Otherwise you need to allow admin privileged or change the permissions of the files and folders which can get relatively complicated.
