I recently deleted all the big files on my HDD, like my games etc., so i could clone my windows to my ssd. My ssd has been cloned and ive went to bios and changed the booting to my ssd. Now what should i do to my HDD? As it still has windows and everything. I have the Samsung Evo 850 250gb SSD. is it safe to completely format my 2TB HDD? And if i could do it, what do you guys recommend me doing? Cloning was 58gb. So now i believe my HDD and SSD have the same items on them. Because i havent downloaded anything, whatsoever.

You can safely format your 2TB HDD if you've been already able to boot from your SSD with your HDD unplugged (to make sure its not using the HDD's boot partition with your SSD).

You should be able to easily recognize which disk to format due to your HDD's 2TB size, still you can rename your SSD to something different if that's your concern.
