This is one of Windows famous secret hidden partitions that you're not supposed to know anything about. On a normal Windows drive there are in fact 4 partitions of which you are only supposed to see 1 the C: drive. Clearly whomever programmed that applet messed up by not hiding that partition. Do not touch it or you may damage your Windows installation.

Its just a programming problem on Microsoft's part, you don't do anything other than ignoring it until Microsoft fixes it. I'm guessing you're using Windows 11 since this has been fixed in the latest Windows 10. Or you may need a Windows 10 update.

I am currently using Windows 10 and I have the latest edition of it.

Thanks man, I figured it out, it was actually Minecraft Java Edition since it is now an Xbox game. Now my problem is solved. Thanks!
