Ask Ubuntu Asked on November 1, 2021
I have deleted Windows and only run Ubuntu 18.04 at the moment. I looked at my partitions and there seem to be a whole bunch of different partitions including some related to Windows. I’d like to get to a state with as few partitions as I can, and have nothing relating to Windows, so that as much space as possible is free for my Ubuntu system in one partition.
I have looked at how to remove Windows partitions but mine has an ! next to it. I also can’t follow some advice on other posts since I’m not sure which partitions I can change and which I can’t.
Firstly, a disclaimer, as I can't exactly reproduce the steps to walk you through, this is just what I would try if I backed up all my important info first.
Here is a comparison of my partition table:
I have a 500GB hard drive which is the ext4
filesystem and the fat32
EFI is used for the bootloader. So, you could delete the ext4
fs associated with your Windows install (is that the one mounted at /media/ ?)
So it looks like you want to KEEP:
Everything else can be selected then Partition > unmount and Partition > Delete.
Once you have ~700GB of unallocated storage you can select ext4
and then click Partition > resize/move and extend the drive to fill the unallocated storage. Finalize the procedures, clicking the green tick, and you should be set.
