1 SSD showing 2 "disks"

Question

I only have 1, 250 GB SSD on my laptop. After installing then uninstalling  Linux, I now have DISK 0 and DISK 1, DISK 0 is around 13.5 GB's. How do I remove DISK 0 and reclaim the space to DISK 1.. Here is an image from "Disk Manager".. I have also created a virtual HDD in the past and not sure if it could be from that or Linux.. Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you sure you don't have a 16GB USB or SD card inserted into your PC, that looks like a totally separate disk to your SSD

Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

Right click Command Prompt in the resulting list and select 'Run as Administrator'

Run this command and press Enter:

diskpart

Run this command and press Enter:

list disk

Please post a screenshot of the resulting Command Prompt window

Thanks for the quick response.  Yes, I'm positive there is no other device plugged in (phone, usb, etc.)... And here is the diskpart screen shot you requested
