I am a beginner Linux user. A few months ago, I installed Ubuntu side by side on my Windows 10 laptop. Those. the disk was divided in half - 50 GB Windows, 50 - Ubuntu. Now I want to demolish Windu completely and merge the partitions, but I ran into such difficulties, and I'm afraid to mess things up. Please help me!
During the process of installing Ubuntu from a flash drive, which options should I choose? How to reformat partitions to stay with a working system? In Windows, everything was simple - I clicked on the section, deleted it, merged it with another. Immediately the tin is full))) Maybe there is an instruction for my case? Didn't find anything in the search. Damn, already not on my own - I did not expect such a set-up. I've been cleaning my laptop all day, making backups, for joy I thought I'd finish everything, but here it is ...

Judging by the screenshot and the comment, you now have an unallocated unallocated area. Now you need to resize the extended partition, and then ext4.
It will not be possible to remove the first disks without completely removing both systems, because. the section is extended.

There was a similar situation. Only I did not delete the shindous, but bit off memory from it.

In Windows, everything was simple - I clicked on the section, deleted it, merged it with another.

It's the same with GParted. Only there is a nuance - you have Windows in the primary (sda3) partition, and Linux in the logical (sda6) partition, which is located inside the extended (sda4) container (this is due to the limitation of the MBR architecture to 4 partitions). You can merge primary or logical sections, but you cannot merge a primary outside the container with one inside logical. Therefore, in a good way, if you only have Linux, you should still back up all the data and create the partition table again, without the extended container.

Thanks everyone, I figured it out. After carefully reading several articles, I decided to delete all partitions and create one for Ubuntu and one for swap in their place. Here are articles for other beginners:

In fact, everything turned out to be simple, but you need to understand what you are doing, and not poke at guessing.
