Hi
Two options for deleting XP on the second drive.
First make sure it really is booting from the SSD and it doesn't need the second HD. Try to disconnect that 2nd HD and check it still boots. Just in case during the install that pesky Win10 still is reading stuff off the older HD.
Then you can either:
1. Login as an admin and just delete the XP files using the file manager. That will free up the space. But if XP is on a separate partition then you will need to access that space via some drive letter.
2. Backup the HD to a removable drive. Check the backup is OK.
Start a partition editor and clear the XP partition. Enlarge the 2nd HD data partition to take up all the space. That way the 2nd HD will be a accessed by a single drive letter.
Option 2 will give a cleaner new space. You can also do a fragment or if the backup is good do a reformat. Then install the backed up files.
