Deleting a partition

Lord_Snot

Hey everyone,
I recently installed Linux onto a Windows machine, but seeing as no one uses it, I'd like to delete the partition it's on. How do I go about doing this?

Should I use my Windows disc to delete it, or can I do it from within Windows?

Also, will the space the partition took up go back onto the main partition with Windows on it?

Open up the Start menu, type "disk man" into the search bar, click on "Create and format hard disk partitions." From here you can delete it and possibly merge it back into the old partition.

It's possible that Windows will not be able to see or delete the partition. A tool I love is Parted Magic. It's a linux boot CD designed for managing partitions, but it can do a whole lot more. Boot your PC with the disk, and then use GParted to delete the linux partition(s).

Make absolutely sure you are deleting the right partition though.
