After nine months of not having booted my Windows even once, I think it’s time to wipe the Windows related partitions once and for all and claim the space. The problem is I think the way my partitions are structured, it may not be that easy. I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go. What do you think? r/linux4noobs -

Someone even suggested I nuked the whole thing and started again, which would be the absolute last resort and only when I ran out of space.

    • Write down GUID for sda6
    • copy sda5 contents somewhere
    • dd sda6 to sda2
    • delete sda6
    • change the GUID for sda2 to the one written down
    • fsck sda6 to fix size
    • make sda1’s type EFI
    • copy sda5 contents to sda1
    • delete sda5
    • you can now resize whatever is left (if your partition tool doesn’t have resize, just delete and recreate with the same starting sector, again you have to keep GUID for root and fsck it to fix size)
