How do i reset my SSD partitions back to default?

[steven234523]

I have a Dell XPS 15 9530 (laptop) with Windows 10 Pro with a Samsung SSD SM841 512GB.

I have installed and uninstalled Ubuntu several times. But over time I have had partitions being created and have 11 partitions I wish to set back to default to save space. I have read that recovery partitions are no longer needed in Windows 10. I am willing to do a clean Windows 10 install but am not sure the partitions will be set back to default after this.

How do I go about doing this?

This is how my partitions look like:
Partition ### Type Size Offset
------------- ---------------- ------- -------
Partition 1 Primary 39 MB 17 KB
Partition 2 OEM 300 MB 40 MB
Partition 3 System 100 MB 340 MB
Partition 4 Reserved 128 MB 541 MB
Partition 5 OEM 750 MB 669 MB
Partition 6 Primary 457 GB 1419 MB
Partition 7 Recovery 449 MB 458 GB
Partition 8 Primary 431 MB 458 GB
Partition 9 Primary 949 MB 459 GB
Partition 10 OEM 8 GB 460 GB
Partition 11 OEM 8 GB 468 GB

if you run a fresh install of windows 10, part of the process is to delete all the partitions: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

it will create two of them again, it needs a recovery and a system partition but rest will all go to C drive.

hey thanks for the reply, this is actually what i was looking for. It worked However, I am assuming the created partitions are necessary and not to be deleted in disk management?

Hey I decided to reboot my computer to factory settings and deleting partitions was an option there. However, one could do this if they didn't want to reinstall windows (or other OS). But I've had issues in the past and had to use EaseUS for hours to get the partitions to merge and such. thank you for replying
