I stupidly cloned by 250 GB SSD to my 2 TB backup, internal drive and now the drive has been restricted to a 250 GB partition. My question is can I use the software's function of deleting partitions to remove that drive clone and "restart" in a sense to a point where I can just backup/image the drive instead?
TL DR I want to use the drive cleanser to wipe the backup drive so I can restart and do it the right way.
Attached is a picture with the Acronis driver cleanser software running and I highlighted which drive I want to clean the partitions off of.
I also attached a photo of the disk manager so you can see how it's listing each drive and the respective partitions. Windows 10 is running off of my SSD so there is no danger of wiping my OS, but I want to wipe the copy I made on the backup drive.
I admittedly didn't read the fine, VERY OBVIOUS, print on the "clone drive" tooltip, but is this fixable via the method I am thinking? I basically just want to make sure that it'd be okay to wipe the backup drive using the drive cleanser.
From the looks of it, it would work, but I like to have second opinions before I potentially do something harmful to my hardware.
EDIT: You can see in the disk manager that the huge amount of unused space appears as an un-named drive. That is what I am trying to correct as the clone of the C drive basically locked it off.
