So i just made a system clone onto my SSD of my HDD. It has windows installed and is now my C drive (the SSD). How do i remove all the windows files from my HDD and how do i know the programs are running off of the SSD and not the HDD

Is this good?

Have you actually verified the system is running from the SSD and only the SSD?
As in...physically disconnect the old drive and see if it boots up with only the SSD.

What specific drive is this? Make/model.
What motherboard?
What OS?

If there is nothing left on the old drive you need to keep, diskpart and the clean command will wipe that drive completely.

The above linked instructions for diskpart will wipe the entire drive.
Don't try to "delete" things manually and individually.
