You want to remove the windows install from the HDD?

 

You will need another HDD to back up the data on the HDD to. Copy the data you want to keep off the drive to another drive and reformat the drive. You will lose the data on the HDD and it will reset the drive to being empty (also removing the windows files). You can then use it as just a storage drive and copy the files you backed up back over to the HDD.
