So, I recently wanted to try Linux on my main Desktop after liking it on my Chromebook. So I bought a second SSD and put it on that so i wouldn’t risk messing up anything with Windows. But I really like Fedora Linux on my desktop, and I want to wipe windows off my other SSD without removing all of my data on it. So that I can have the TB of storage on my Desktop again.
Is this possible to do from the Linux OS? Or do I need to boot it up with Windows for this?
And if so, how do I do it?
Thanks! :)

    So you don’t want to format the drive, but you want windows to no longer be there?

    I guess you could just delete the windows folders. The drive is still going to be formatted as ntfs and have a bunch of leftovers from windows, but your data will still be there.
