Unable to remove or create simple volume

So I got a second hand 3TB WD Green from my friend as he was upgrading his rig, I put it into my computer and formatted it but there's a 746GB partition on the disk that I can't seem to get rid of or combine(?) in Windows Disk Management as shown in the image attached. I'm using this drive for photos and video storage only. I have an SSD that I use for the OS and games etc.. Anyone able to help me with this?

no picture attached. that would help greatly to understand what is going on with the drive.

Read thru this:

You probably have a non-windows partition that normal gui won't let you mess with.

BTW that picture is too small to see anything.

Edited, my apologies

follow the info on using Diskpart that nobspls linked to .

that should blow away anything and everything on the drive including all partitions and data. keep in mind that using Diskpart WILL delete all data on the drive. so back-up anything you need to keep before starting the process.
