Disk images are usually compressed to save space. You can't format your internal drive from within Windows and even if you could, you do realise it would wipe the entire drive including the operating system? lol ! Just delete whatever you don't need from your internal HDD and then download CCleaner and run that to clean up any old files left over.

You can format the other drive from within disk management. Providing it's not the drive with the o/s on it.
