[SOLVED] System reserved D:

[DanyDaDino]

I got an SSD recently for my computer. After cloning everything over to it I was told to shut down my computer and remove the HDD that I was previously using . I did so and everything seemed to work fine, all of my stuff transferred and the SSD was now recognized as disk C:. I then went to reinstall my HDD for extra space. Upon starting up my computer I opened task manager to make sure that my SSD was still disk C: it was but then I noticed that the HDD was now recognized as disk D: and E:. I opened up my file explorer and saw that there was a local disk C:, local disk E:, and a System Reserved D:. I then opened up disk management and saw that my HDD was being recognized as disk E: and that there were two system reserved volumes. One was labeled as D: and the other had no label like it did before installing my new SSD. Is it okay to delete the system reserved D: volume and is it alright to format my old HDD to clear it duplicate files.

Which is the actual new drive?
Disk 1?

If so, you can delete ALL from Disk 0, the old HDD.

You should delete all the partitions on that drive.
The easiest/fastest way is from the commandline.
Diskpart, and the clean command.
