Yes, it's a real hard drive like the one that's probably in your computer. You get another drive letter for it and it acts like a regular hard drive. You can delete, copy and move files just like on your original drive.

You can download programs such as Glarysoft Utilities and click scan for empty files or folders. All you have to do is let it scan and there will be a list of what it found. Once you've gotten the list, click on clean up and it will erase any unnecessary anrld temporary files. Also make sure to delete your trash. You can find these apps on Bleeping Computer. Google the website and search for cleaning and some suggestions will pop up.
Good luck with your search!

Yes, but you would need to do so manually by accessing the drive from your computer and deleting the files as you would any other files on your computer's hard drive.

It's easy when you use the file explorer on Windows, simply click on the file you want to delete, then press 'shift' and 'delete' on your keyboard and voila, it's gone!
