How to delete/wipe/format the second HDD and then use it for storing data?
All operations other than resize, unmount, and properties, are greyed out. The three options that are available are not working.
Details:
Perhaps I made a mistake by setting the mount point to "/home/danny/Storage" because I think the free space that is showing, 91GB, is of the SSD.
I've tried mounting it and then unmounting it but that does not help in anyway i.e. all operations are still greyed out.
Details of my system:
And I forgot the tags to use when posting large size images in a forum. [spoiler] tag doesn't work here.
Solution:
Deleted the partition using fdisk

Details:
- Have 1 SSD (120GB) and 1 HDD (500GB)
- Windows 8.1 was installed and both were NTFS.
- Installed Kubuntu to replace Windows. Clean install.
- Choose lvm with encryption during installation.
- 500gb HDD was visible in Dolphin but was unusable. "Unallocated space" and no file system, according to Kde Partition Manager.
- Pick ext4 and mount point "/home/danny/Storage". Applied operation on HDD.
- HDD (/dev/sdb1) can now be mounted but it shows only 91gb total (not typo) space in Dolphin. Shows full 465GB in Kde Partition Manager.
- Kde Partition Manager does not allow any operations on it and neither does GParted

Details of my system:
- Kubuntu 17.04 64bit
- Kubuntu is the only OS installed.
- Laptop
- Intel Core i3 (sandybridge I think)
- AMD hybrid graphics (which is perhaps not active)
- 4GB RAM
- 2 Internal HDs. 1 SSD and 1 HDD.
- No optical drives
