    What to do with the old Windows file in HDD after migrating to SSD?


    I installed a new nVME m.2 SSD in my HP laptop and I then migrated the Windows data from HDD to SSD. I also changed the boot order from HDD to SSD. But now there exists a 200 GB Windows file in my HDD which is the old Windows boot file.Can anyone tell me If I can delete this file and the procedure to it? Like is it through the disk manager?

    :)
