I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask, but I have a hard drive from an old laptop that I added to my new computer and was wondering if there’s an easy way to delete all of the windows files from it while retaining my files so that I can keep my system more organized.

As far as I can tell, the simplest but least clean option would be to manually delete anything unnecessary from the drive’s system folders. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Could it be simpler to transfer the important stuff off, reformat, and then transfer it back in? You don’t have to change the folder structure if you do it all in bulk
