And your original drive will no longer be partitioned and all the space will be on that disk. Tips: If the partition you want to delete is system partition, you will find that the Delete Volume greyed out. That means you cannot use Disk Management to delete system partition. Although Disk Management can help you delete partitions, there are still many restricts.
You cannot delete an extended partition unless it is empty and cannot delete the system partition with Disk Management too. Fortunately, you can use a third party software to do this operation. After unpartitioning the hard drive, the data on the disk will be erased or deleted, and it cannot be restored by any data recovery software. Step 1. Your partition information will be displayed on the main interface. Step 2.
In the pop-up window, you can select the delete method. The data which has been deleted is recoverable if you choose option one in this situation. If you choose this one, even data recovery software may not recover data on these partitions. Therefore, think twice before you decide to do this operation. Or, you can just make a backup of these data before deletion as mentioned above.
Step 3. After that, you can see the hard drive show as unallocated space. If you delete a primary partition, the empty you get is called unallocated disk space. If you delete a logical partition by Disk Management, the empty space is called free space. If you want to get unallocated space, you need delete the free space again. If the hard drive you want to unpartition is a solid state drive, you can use the function of SSD Secure Erase to unpartition it.
This function will help you reset your SSD to the factory settings and restore it to its peak performance. Access Disk Management directly by pressing the Start key, typing "Disk Management" and pressing enter. The Disk Management window should pop up. Remove all data from the partition. In the Disk Management window, you should see a list of Disks, starting with Disk 0. The drives associated with each disk will be listed horizontally. Right-click the partition you want to delete and click "Delete Volume" from the menu.
Look for what you called the drive when you originally partitioned it. This will delete all data from this partition, which is the only way to unpartition a drive. For Windows 7 and Vista users: Right click the same partition and select "Delete Partition" from the menu. You should now see the partition as unallocated space. The partition should be highlighted on the top with a black bar, as opposed to a purple bar for the other partitions.
Allocate the space back to the partitioned drive. Allocating space back to the original drive will take away memory from the partition and add it back to the original drive. The original drive is essentially absorbing the partition. If the partitioned drive is C, right-click on C and select "Extend Volume" from the menu.
Extend the volume of the partitioned drive with the Extend Volume Wizard. The Wizard should have automatically popped up when you clicked "Extend Volume. Click Finish when available. You should now no longer see the partition listed if all was done correctly.
Your original drive will no longer be partitioned and all the space will be on that disk. Method 2. Open up the Disk Utility tool. This tool can be found by opening Finder and searching for "Disk Utility" in the search bar.
Locate and click on the correct disk. From the list of disks on the left side of the window, locate the disk that houses your partitioned drive. If you have never added any additional storage space, you should only see one SSD. The different drives will be listed beneath each disk, so find the disk with the drive that you wish to remove.
Click on the name of the disk, rather than any drives beneath the disk, such as Main. Click on the Partition tab. You should see five tabs on the top of the main section of the window; click on the one that says Partition.
After clicking, you should see a header titled "Partition Information" beneath the tabs. Select the partition. Beneath the "Partition Layout" title, you should see the different partitions on the disk as white boxes. After clicking, be sure there is a blue border around the white box. Click the minus symbol beneath the boxes. When prompted from a drop-down dialog box, click "Remove. This step will delete any data on the partition. Expand the box titled Main. There should now be empty gray space where the previous box partition used to be.
Click on the three lines in the bottom right of the "Main" box and drag the box all the way down. While dragging, you should see the value in "Size" increase. Click on Apply in the bottom right corner of the window.
Click on Partition on the drop-down dialog box when prompted. This step may take a little while depending on how much data is on the main drive. The disk is being reformatted, so give it time.
Luigi Oppido. You can delete them, but unless you're totally sure you know what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend it.
Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 1. If you're talking about partitions that you personally created and are no longer using, sure.
If you're talking about the "built-in" partitions created by Windows, then I wouldn't touch those. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 2. Yes, I'm personally really fond of Partition Magic. It makes it really easy to edit and monitor changes on partition drives, and it will keep you from dramatically altering a partition before you know what your change is going to do.

To do so, right click on the unwanted partition and click "Delete volume. Not Helpful 31 Helpful 0. I'm running Windows 7 and followed the instructions to unpartition. The bar on the header of the partition is yellow, not black, and when I right click on C, "Extend volume" is grayed out. What next?
You may be better off formatting the drive completely after transferring the files to another location a computer that is not running Windows 7. Not Helpful 8 Helpful 0.
