Now, before you go bat * crazy on why I want to delete my EFI partition, I will tell you.

I am installing a Hackintosh. Diskutility needs 200+mb of EFI space in order to do any formatting. So, long story short, I finally was able to make a bigger EFI partition, however, my computer will not let me delete my old one.

I do not want to erase a whole disk, considering I have only one and I am trying to install my hackintosh onto the same disk as windows 10.

Any suggestions?

Well deleting it COULD render your PC unbootable BUT if you need to.

Boot into windows 10. Right click Start menu. Click Command Prompt (Admin)

Type each line and hit enter for each line. X will be the number of that list


Diskpart
list volume
delete volume X override


That should delete the EFI partition but again it may render something unbootable dending on how it is going.

As far as installing both on the same hard drive just becareful with the EFI. Make sure you make any repair media now if you don't have access to another PC.

Although this did not work for me, I am sure it will work for someone else. I ended up using my windows 10 CD and deleted the partition from there. Everything went smoothly and booted correctly
