partitioning - How to remove setup partition ( volume ) after OS install

I was installing a new Windows on my new SSD from a USB drive but the often appearing error "We couldn't create a new partition or bla bla.." appeared so I used cmd and diskpart to create a new 5GB volume on my SSD, copied the installation files there and ran the installation again from that partition.




It worked, I installed the OS, everything works fine... except...
That partition where the OS installation files are is still there, I want to remove it but it seems that it's not that simple.



It is marked as "active" and "system" in the Windows drive format tool. ( picture below )



disks



I tried marking my C disk where the OS actually is installed as active but then Windows can't boot anymore. Also when my PC boots it shows me an annoying screen where I can choose to enter Windows 10 or go to Windows setup again ( obviously booting the installation again from that volume ).




How the hell do I get rid of this thing?
