So a while back I wanted to transfer windows 10 from my hdd to my ssd. I did everything correctly however after I copied windows 10 I forgot to change over to boot on my ssd. (Now while I’m still booting on my hdd even though I thought that I was on my ssd. Keep that in mind. ) I thought that since I have already transferred windows 10 to my ssd I would just delete everything on my hdd. This would have been the case if I was on my ssd. However since I was on my hdd it deleted everything from the desktop and basically wiped my computer and I panicked because I thought that I had already copied everything. Since I thought that everything was gone I decided to re install almost everything and then a couple days later I realized that I was still booting slow so I checked my bios and I was still booting to my hdd. So I swapped over to my ssd as my main boot drive and everything was back. However without giving it a second thought I went on and it’s been a couple of months now and I’m finally realizing that I still have that old copy of windows 10 and basically another computer in my hdd. Unfortunately I have so many other apps and things now that I can’t just wipe the drive. I was wondering if there is a way to wipe my old windows 10 that is on my hdd and will that also wipe all the data from that “other” computer ( remember that I had installed a lot of things on my hdd again) while still keeping my files that I have now?
 
Solution
Stop. This is a clone done wrong.

You can't move any "applications" from the HDD OS to the SSD OS.

Power OFF
Physically disconnect the HDD.
Does the system boot up properly?
Verify the boot order....SSD first.

Yes everything is working properly now and I boot to my ssd everytime and I did properly clone. Idk if I explained it wrong in what I was saying. I just never deleted my windows 10 from my hdd after cloning it to my ssd if that makes more sense. Now I want to delete the windows 10 on my hdd and all the old applications I had on it.
