Delete a partition/volume set

  • To delete a partition/volume set
    Performing the following steps will destroy all data on the selected partition and may change drive letter assignments.
    1. Select a disk and a partition or volume set.
    2. Click Operations Delete.
    3. Click Delete or Delete and Shred.
    4. Click OK.

    Tips
    To delete an extended partition, you must first delete all logical partitions within the extended partition.

    In step 3, you can also right-click the partition/volume set you want to delete, then click Delete. You should be aware that using the Delete and Shred option takes much longer than simply deleting a partition/volume set.

    If your system includes SCSI disks and you delete a partition before a bootable Linux partition, Linux may no longer be bootable. If this happens, you will need to create Linux rescue disks, boot from the rescue disks, and repair the Linux boot information on the Linux partition.
