Using windows 10, I installed splunk onto the drive folder itself (not the drive where windows was installed) and then I wasn't able to access the drive. Properties showed it had 0 storage and the default name of the drive in "My PC" was NFTS drive or something. Could not find the uninstall button in the apps settings, nor could I find any services related to splunk in windows services or task manager. I couldn't use the splunk application itself either. Couln't find a splunk folder in C drive either. I tried to run: chkdsk X: /f /r in CMD and I got the error "Chkdsk cannot dismount the volume because it is a system drive or there is an active paging file on it". I couldn't format the drive because it said it was in use. I ended up booting safe mode and formatted the drive there which has solved all my issues, but anyone know what the issue was?
