    Can't delete old Windows folder


    Hello, I bought a new NVME driver, and placed it in the primary slot. The old NVME with Win10 installation is now in the second NVME slot.I installed Windows 11 on the new driver.I didn't format old driver because I still need a lot of files on it. But I would like to free the space of the old Windows installation.When I try to delete Windows folder, I have the prompt with the shield icon, I click on Continue, but then it says something about Trusted Installer and I can't continue to delete it.

    :)
