partition anihilation - Linux Forums

I installed a dualbot but accidentally partition size was set to 2.5 GB, and that is obviously too small
So I installed ubuntu again with 60GB, but now I hawe two partitions of ubuntu and I don't need the fist one or any data on it.
So can I just click delete "ext3" and "linux-swap" or what?
I would like to add that 2.5GB to the 60GB of the other partition...

I attached a screen shot of GParted

Your help would be appreciated

My suggestion is to boot your computer with the GParted Live CD, which will not mount the partitions, and you'll be allowed to work with them as needed.
