Asked By TechieBear42 On

I have a dual boot setup with Linux Mint and Windows installed on a separate drive. I've been using Linux Mint for all my tasks and haven't touched my Windows installation in months. What steps should I take to delete the Windows partition and reclaim that space for my Linux Mint system? I'm looking for a straightforward way to do this. Thanks in advance!

You can use GParted to delete your Windows partition and then expand your Linux partition. Just make sure to back up your important data first, as messing with partitions can sometimes lead to data loss. Since Windows is on its own drive, you won’t need to worry about resizing; just delete the Windows partition and format the space for Linux. Backups are crucial!

If you're really worried about data loss, why not just create a new partition in the unallocated space instead of messing with your current partitions? It could save you the headache.
