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.
Your /dev/sda5 the FAT32 mounted at /boot/efi has to stay too! That’s your EFI System Partition, it’s essential for the boot chain.
What you can do is delete the “Microsoft” directory that’s on there, but definitely keep the one named after your distribution!
