If you mean wipe windows OS off the SSD but keep your data such as music and photos that was on the same drive, that will be tricky if you had all your windows and data on one partition.
You could shrink the windows partition and create a new one to copy all your data to, then wipe the windows one, then grow the new partition...but there are a lot of steps where you could accidentally delete your data. Might be better to mount the windows drive and copy any necessary data to your new Linux drive first.
