Windows 10: New Volume Z

In Devices and Drives I have a drive marked New Volume Z)

Thinking it might be taking up unnecessary space I copied it to an external drive with the intention of deleting it altogether once I had established it was of no use. Properties now show it still contains 287 MB but when I open it it is empty. Also I am unable to delete it

Can someone explain this please?

Drive Z is not a malware it's a Microsoft hidden partition for booting the computer, for some reason it becomes visible at times. You can try rebooting your computer and see if it hides Drive Z again. If not, you can try the following steps
below:

• Type CMD on start menu to open Command Prompt.
• Type Diskpart and hit Enter.
• Click Yes if you are prompted with UAC (User Account Control)
  dialog-box.
• Type List Volume and hit Enter.
• Select the drive that you want to hide, type Select Volume Z
  or Select Volume 8 (change 8 with the volume number of Drive Z)
