Removing linux partitions

Question

I have many partitions after installing Linux, know, I want to remove the Linux partition (Disc 0, Partition 8, 122 GB) as I switched back to windows. I have backed up all the data on it, so I do not care if it is deleted. I do not wish to wipe my windows partition, for seasons. Additionally, there are many 1gb partitions and I do not know where they came from. Can they be removed, and if yes, how?

Answer 1

Hi,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

Please, share the Disk Management screenshot showing all partitions.

Answer 2

Oh my, I thought I did, they must not have uploaded. Anyhow, I hope it now works. Thank you for your support

Answer 3

You can delete these four partitions; the deleted partitions will become unallocated space. Right-click the Windows-SSD partition and select "Expand." You will then be able to expand using the unallocated space.

Answer 4

Thank you so much, I will do this. Out of curiosity, I must ask, why were they created, and how can I identify which are safe to delete. I plan to continue experimenting with Linux and do not want to post each time I eventually give up and return to windows.

Answer 5

The partitions necessary for Windows are the C:, Recovery and EFI, all the other can be deleted.

Linux creates more partitions because it works differently and has some separate partitions for things like the page file, which is a single file on the C: partition on Windows.
