| | Hi there, you cant delete this partition because its a system partition and its marked as Active. Just next to the E:\ partition, there is some unallocated space. You can right click on the partition you want to extend and then click Extend Volume. |

| | Sorry. Yes the partition is not marked as Active but it does contain operating system files. Could you 1st extend the E: drive and use all the unallocated space to extend it? Once its extended, it must give you an option to delete the entire volume. |

| | Your E: partition is the System partition which means it contains the files needed to boot windows. Should you delete that partition, you'll need to do a Startup Repair in order to boot windows. Startup Repair You can try using a 3rd party utility like Partition Wizard to delete or use Diskpart. Heres how to use diskpart.
