I’ve built my new pc using a 500gb ssd. After installing all of my favorite games, its nearly out of space and i would like to install my old 1tb hard drive in case i run out. However, there is a lot of unwanted data on that hard drive. How can i wipe the hard drive without resetting my pc or affecting my ssd data at all?

How much space is left you will need to have about 30% of a drive available for updates.
First thing I would suggest is running the Windows built in cleaner
Any downloads and personal files move them to an external location that way you have a back up should something happen.
Just add the 1 TB and wipe it and format as one drive as NTFS. -
your Documents, Downloads, Desktop, Picture, Music and Video folders can all live on the HDD.
right click each of those folders, select Properties, then Location tab, then type in the new location and click Move.
you’ll still see them as normal in File Explorer and the like, but their physical location will now be the old drive.Comment
