Thanks!
I already wiped them out But it's good to know for future
So, if you keep ESP, then will Manjaro use existing one or will create it's own?
Stay safe!

I usually keep the ESP (EFI System Partition).
I found 100MB a bit small on one of my computers: the Linux firmware update system wanted to stage stuff in the ESP (on an XPS 15, a wildly different notebook). There was not enough room. The chance that Acer releases new firmware, with support for Linux installation is low.
I triple boot that XPS notebook (Fedora Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Windows 10) which increases the space used in ESP.
There's a slight chance that there is something interesting in the ESP. For example, some manufacturers put diagnostic software there. You could see if there's anything you want to keep.
Before you blow away Windows, I recommend that you check that you have the latest firmware installed. If you later wish to update the firmware, you may have to re-install Windows to do it.
