quoting Saltgrass on his reply to your query: "winretools is the partition the system boots to for the repair tools in case of problems with the system. It is one of the Win 10 critical partitions." I suggest you leave it ...
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?
