Continue until it is all "organized" and you can name the drives that contain all of your organized data.
Rather than "mostly" or "like 50%".

in my opinion i should break the raid 0 and copy everything in to single 8 tb and delete duplicates from the backup drives too put it a side and save it for rainy day 
the other one i should use for permenat backup with a program maybe? (thats only an idea feel free to share opinions)
the other one i should use for permenat backup with a program maybe? (thats only an idea feel free to share opinions)i will orginize it but it will take me time im doing little by little and slowly as you advised me before and it works, but i do want to start having working backup at the same time so i can recover files if i accidently delete them. i have seen something in windows before called file history or something like that i would like to know how to activate it.. maybe thats what i need. i was thinking maybe to try proper program but i am a slow learner so maybe thats what i need..?
Don't DELIBERATELY delete anything yet.
Don't put the cart before the horse.
Continue organization so that your data space requirements can be evaluated.
You have at least 15 drives and apparently multiple copies of data spread all over them. That's your "backup" for right now.
"File history" is not the ideal means of backup. Cross that bridge when the time comes. Horse before the cart.
It looks like you have:
3 4tb ssds
2 wd 8 tb hdds
4 other 4 tb hdds
3 crucial mx 500 2 tb ssds
at least 3 other 2 tb hdds

First thing out of the gate here is that A: and B: are NOT for use with hard drives. They are hardcoded for removable (primarily floppy drives) and will cause no end of problems in your case.thanks, here we go :

( My HDDS and SSDS having custom icons so it might be easier to understand)
5x 4TB + i have slow smr 5400 extenal 2.5 one which i forgot about.
correct but one of these crucial mx500 im using for my actual daily music library and on the go storage.
i have 3 2TB HDDS 2 of them are in the NAS but i think they are unstable they have 9 years of usage on them my nas reported one of them crashed last time i check their status was good on diskinfo (i traded 2 of them on jbl headphones with some guy on facebook marketplace)

Fine and dandy, but not important right now.
Continue to get files organized.
If your data exceeds maybe 6 TB, you probably would not want to put it on an 8 TB drive. It would fit, but leave you little room for growth. Worry about that after your files are organized.

there's no more to know. A: and B: have always been reserved for floppy drives and those letters operate in an entirely different manner. You cannot change this. You can expect at a minimum permissions issues.
i will try but it might take me years to get it to full sorted state.. i might actually delete duplicates from my backup drives aswell only duplicate folders i mean (i scan with "freefilesync" honetly this program is life saver (and time).. and also "everything search".. but i do wanna move on eventually i cant orginize for ever.
i also want to create one big copy and maybe give it to my uncle to keep incase the house will burn or disaster happens or something like that, i heard its always good to have one backup off site..
It's totally up to you to decide when you have all of your data files corralled on certain drives.
Or if that is important. I wouldn't know.
Or if disorganization is fine. Live with it if you like. If you liked it, I'd guess you wouldn't have made your first post.
At some point you would presumably copy ALL of your data to ONE drive.
Your biggest drive is 8 TB.
If your data won't fit, you have a decision to make: do I buy a larger drive, maybe 12 or 16 TB or do I split my data onto maybe 2 different 8 TB drives.
The former is preferred. The latter is doable but complicates things.
And you have to decide if you are willing to use HDDs for "original" data. Not ideal due to lack of speed.
Your largest drives are 8 TB HDD, but you have 3 SSDs of 4 TB capacity. If you have say 5 TB of data, your 4 TB SSDs are not ideal.
If you have money falling out of your pockets, maybe you buy 8 TB SSDs.
Maybe some of your data is not really so precious and can be deleted.
Maybe you can live with no backup of a bunch of your data and simply move that stuff onto a 4 TB or 8 TB HDD and put it in a closet.
You have a lot of decision points in front of you that are totally on you.
