What is on it?
And why this 'reset'?

Before doing ANYTHING, please show us a screencap of your Disk Management window.

When I first built my pc I was having a lot of BSOD issues and so to rule out the issue being with my hdd/any programs on my hdd I unplugged it. I ended up fixing the issue with my hdd unplugged so now I just want to reset it and plug it back in because I need the storage. There is just a few games on it, nothing important I just want it reset so that none of the programs on it cause me any issues. Here is a link to my disk management screencap https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ywky9nwiN5l7tIX6_KV57-qWLrI8f3jK/view?usp=sharing

That shows just one single drive. The C drive, of 250GB.

So the system boots up properly without the HDD connected?

No problem.
Commandline function diskpart, and the clean command will to that.
