will deleting certain partitions cause hard drive issues?

[ExoMale]

may or may not be the correct section, i was already on here about to post about a problem i resolved lol.

anyways i have 2 x 1tb hard drives that are my storage, however the one has partitions on one being a recovery, so must be what my os was originally on however i dont remember formatting it to have partitions and so i have 109gb left on this one and 368gb on the other so i cant do any swap arounds, if i was to start deleting the partitions i dont actually need, will it cause issues for the rest of whats on there?

If all your Windows files are on a totally different drive, then it shouldn't cause any problems. But whenever you tinker about with HDDs, you should always back up your data just in case.

Shutdown pc.
Disconnect both drives, turn pc on.

If it boots up ok, then it's safe to fiddle with the partitions.

As above though, take a full backup first.
