Solved Can not delete Ubuntu partition after uninstalling Ubuntu

[nuflia]

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 for the reply, the problem when i use AOMEI , it seems that it's working and i can delete and rearrange the partition but when i go to the disk management tools on windows i find everything as it is...the ubuntu partition is always staying , does not like to be deleted or extended or formatted

Well once you delete it ... you would need to restart the system ..

you mean after deleting the partition , i should restart my computer and see
is this what you mean..

 

[centaur78]

yes !!!

 

[centaur78]

what I meant is you need to delete the partition ... then click apply to accept the changes and usually the program will ask you to restart the computer

With these 3rd party partition management tools, you usually have to click APPLY to enforce the changes - I know this is the case with AOEMI, Partition Wizard and EASEUS. It sounds like you have not been doing that.



There is NO way on earth you can delete a partition using a 3rd party program, only for it to appear like magic in Windows Disk Management.....unless you aren't applying the changes in the 3rd party software.

In addition to Golden's post, here is the apply button in aomei:

I insalled Ubuntu along side windows 7 , and then i removed it using the command prompt by typing the two commands ( i used windwos 7 DVD installtion disk)
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec fixmbr
and now when my computer starts it boots to windows 7...but when i try to delete the partition that contains the Ubuntu , it does not work, i use the disk management tools from windows, I've tried many times but every time i get the same message ...
is there any way to delete this partition from w7 or do i need to have third part software..
regards
