Try the following to "hide" Drive H:
Right-click the Start button and click "Command Prompt (Admin)"
At the Command Prompt type the following and press "Enter":
mountvol H:\ /D
Close the command prompt.
Here is some info on Mountvol, it is very powerful be cautious using it:

Should not delete it but it can be hidden so that it doesnt cause problems.

The same happened with me too, I just had a fresh recovery install and was downloading the drivers from the Dell website and got a notification that you have a new drive naming winretools, can you please let me know why this appeared?
