stg mate to be absolutely honest some of the dump stuff might as well be in Klingon so anything above the absolutely obvious I am really at a disadvantage but if you like I can ask some who are far more informed than me.
Now the only reason I suggested reformatting was because I quite pedantic in what I do and that is would have wiped that drive clean by that I mean the entire disk which would include the partition which I am guessing that WD stuff is installed in and just reformatted it as a plain drive, with no extraneous software to be found. Because as I said before I find it (software) rather irritating and of little use to be honest a bit like bloat ware one gets with store bought machines.
Having said that I know most drives come with some form of control functions / features that take some space up but I take it as just that and not some performance enhancing ware.
Let me know if you want some more opinions mate it is no trouble.
