    shaku,
    Here you go:
    Go to an elevated command prompt and enter:
    Diskpart
    select disk 0
    list partition
    Now you look at that partition list and determine the numeral assigned to the partition you want delete.
    As an example, I'm going to use partition3.
    select partition 3
    detail partition
    --just to make sure you didn't goof
    delete partition override
    exit
    exit

    Partition Manager


    Guys. Ive tried using partition manager professional edition. Almost all operations i try leads to operations pending on the left panel.

    The free space shown in device manager is shown as 'UN--ALLOCATED' space in Partition manager.

    Here is the screen shot as of now.
    Recommendation since im a amateur wrt to computing. Apologies for the same.

    Use Partition Wizard. We have a couple of tutorials.

    Or use DiskPart.

    Excellent.

    Now use diskpart again, but this time
    do a
    list volume

    And attach a snip of what you see.

    Or did you know that you can use your mouse to select an area of the cmd screen and then hit the ENTER key. The area you highlighted will be copied to the clipboard. You can then use Ctrl + V to paste the clipboard into your next post.

    Try it. You will get to where you like it for saving what's on the command console.
