Storage Spaces(SS) is part of Windows 10.
Thus no way to uninstall.

...but, the default is 'Off'
- It can only be turned on/implemented when an end user combines 2 or more 
drives into a single logical pool.
  - the minimum 2 or more drives can not be the o/s drive or unless 
wiped(another existing internal drive with existing data - if chosen W10's 
SS will inform that selecting will wipe the drive)

If trashing a drive means and end user selecting an existing drive, 
ignoring the caution, then yes SS can 'trash' the drive.

Only the end user admin can add or remove drives from the pool and delete 
and existing Storage Space.

Which makes it even more odd that you mentioned this earlier, which would 
appear to be the cause of confusion on other replies.
"If Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller can find storage online, it 
prefers to give you that storage rather than your device storage you're 
trying to connect to."

It doesn't appear based on your existing info that you've turned on and 
implemented SS.
