To remove inactive volume to use a disk in Windows, follow these steps:
Press the Windows key + X on your keyboard and select "Disk Management" from the menu.
In the Disk Management window, locate the inactive volume you want to remove.
Right-click on the volume and select "Delete Volume" from the context menu.
Click "Yes" to confirm the deletion of the volume.
The volume will now be deleted, and the disk space it was using will be marked as unallocated.
Right-click on the unallocated space and select "New Simple Volume" from the context menu.
Follow the prompts in the New Simple Volume Wizard to create a new volume on the unallocated space.
Once the new volume is created, you can format it and begin using it.
Note: Be sure to back up any important data on the inactive volume before deleting it, as all data on the volume will be permanently lost
