You will need a 3rd party partition manager, Try aomei free version :
AOMEI Partition Assistant ? free disk partition manager software, helps you to resize partitions, merge partitions etc.
Thanks SIW2, I will try AOMEI ...
Ditto WHS.
I personally would put linux on a separate disc of its own and do a BIOS boot.
I bought an extra SSD for this purpose but for me linux is still just a technical exercise. Windows 7 is fine but maybe not forever!
no, wait a second. Ubuntu does not usually make logical NTFS partitons called Recovery_partition. Seems like a recovery partition made by the PC manufacturer.
You also have around 143 Gb of free space or unformatted partition (the first entry in the list of the screenshots). Select that from Disk management and create a new partition or format as NTFS. Won't delete that partition you want to delete, but you will get back 143 GB anyway. You can leave that other alone, as it's tiny.
