I did somehow manage to ruin an SSD when trying to set up dual booting. I couldn't actually read the data off of it after whatever nonsense I did. After reformatting it a few times to no avail, I gave up on it.

I probably should have tried reinstallling the firmware on the SSD, but I had it at that point. Even so, the PC still worked. After convincing the computer to boot off of the original drive, I had no issues.

Short of a hardware fault, you cannot destroy an SSD no matter what you throw at it. Try resetting the partition table using gparted and you can use it for whatever again. The windows partition manager tends to not be reliable when dealing with removing wonky linux partitions.
