Delete Distro

[Robert1305]

I have on my PC Ubuntu 11.04 and Mint 11, dual booting.

I have now decided to use 11.04 exclusively.

Can someone please tell me how to delete Mint and use 11.04 on entire disk

Many Thanks

The easiest way would be to re-install Ubuntu and tell it to use the entire disk. You may also just delete those partitions and remove the Mint 11 entry from Grub.

Hello

I agree with MikeTbob that a fresh Ubuntu install is probably the easiest (and maybe even the fastest) way to get the job done.

If you want to learn a little extra about partitioning and GRUB, you can delete the Mint partition(s), edit your GRUB config files if needed to reflect any changes in partition numbering, then use gparted to expand/shrink the remaining partitions and free space as you might prefer.

or you could delete the partition, create a new one to use as a data partition and add it fstab so it gets mounted.

If you decide to not reinstall, make sure to run

sudo update-grub

to remove mint from grub

I agree with Mike and ozar in the opinion that re-installation would be fastest and easiest.
Just remember to make a back-up of anything you want to save!

Another method, though, just to let you know it's available.
Burn a copy of GParted.
Delete the partition that hold Mint, and re-size the Ubuntu partition to fill the disk.
After that, boot into Ubuntu.
Open a terminal and do

sudo update-grub
