Fresh Ubuntu and GRUB shows multiple Ubuntus and Windows 10s.
sda1 got a fresh install, and sda2 is entirely free space.
Should I do something about this? What?
I installed Windows 10 on a separate disc, while my other (original) disc had Ubuntu 20.04. I don't recall, whether my original Ubuntu disc (shown in picture) already had 3 rather than 2 partitions, but now it shows:
Where the highlighted partition seems to report as "Windows 10" in GRUB.
Is this something added by installing Windows 10 on a second SSD? Or what is it? Can I delete it?

I speculate this is related to:

This https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-22-04-alongside-windows-10 suggests that it might be a result from dual booting.
Potential solutions:
Could I clone the Ubuntu on this disc to another disc w/o the Windows partition?
What to do in the situation of "installed some dependencies to build a package and the build still failed, now left with dependencies I didn't need"?
This seems as if it could eventually cause bloat to the system.
I thought:
always try installations/builds to a "sandbox" OS first, like virtual box Ubuntu or something
organize main OS so that it's possible to do full clean installs of OS from time to time to clear all the junk
Anything else?
Is it possible to get Ubuntu to see Fujitsu SAS controller?
On Windows I think the Intel C600 drivers made the hardware visible, but I cannot seem to be able to find Intel C600 drivers for Ubuntu.
What to do?

02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08)
But the drives attached to it aren't visible.
