Deleting partitions and simple volume

[PhatLloyd]

So I took out my laptop HDD and formatted it, I noticed that there are 3 other partitions of smaller size. How do I remove them? I'm going to be installing Linux.

Also I formatted the drive to be a "Simple Volume" I want it to be a primary volume. Please help

Thanks

well you can go to my computer>right click>manage>in the left click on storage

you will se your hard drive along with partitions just right click them are delete it.

the resultant free space can be reassigned to your primary partition

I tried that when I click it only gives me the help option, the others aren't greyed, they're left out.

, I suggest you try using Diskpart command to force-delete it.

1. Open a command prompt as administrator.

2. Run Diskpart application by typing Diskpart in the command prompt.

3. In the “Diskpart” prompt, enter rescan command and press Enter key to re-scan all partitions, volumes and drives available.

4. Then type in list disk and press Enter key to show all hard disk drive available.

5. Select the disk that contains the partition you want to remove. Normally, with just 1 hard disk, it will be disk 0. So the command will be:

Select disk 0

Finish by Enter key.

6. Type list partition and press Enter key to show all available and created partition in the disk selected.

7. Select the partition that wanted to be deleted by using the following command, followed by Enter key:

Select partition x

Where x is the number of the recovery partition to be removed and unlocked its space. Be careful with the number of this partition, as wrong number may get data wipes off.

8. Finally, type in delete partition override and press Enter key.

Hope this helps

and are you sure about deleting it?

Oh my! I made a mistake, formatted wrong drive!! :0 Luckily it was the flash, with only Ubuntu on. I'm 10000% sure I want to do this. I've been wanting to do it since I got the laptop. Thanks, really helped, now to delete the correct disk, Disk 2

Is there a way to delete all 5 partitions in 1 go?
