deleting unallocated space/partitions?

[Deleted member 234478]

I have a drive that has 2x 300mb allocated spaces i want to remove. its not a used drive. I want to keep it for basic storage. its a spare.

I am able to remove other partitions with diskpart

select disk
select partition
delete partition override

but here I dont know how to select this space/partition/chunk its showing in disk management. do I give it a volume? and how do I then delete it? how do I type it in in CP?



what is the 100mb efi system partition and what is the 530mb healthy recovery partitions on the same drive? the drive HAD w10 on it. or w7, cant remember but I want it 1 chunk of 1tb

lets keep it super simple please. no installing of any app.

Why not erase from the GUI?
But from diskpart, after you select the disk: "clean"


EFI is boot-related, recovery was probably used by Windows.

It's a data disk, just keep it as one big data volume?

Diskpart
Select Disk
Clean
Convert GPT
Create Partition Primary

Did I miss something?

 

[Ahhzz]

Run command prompt as admin
type "diskpart" and enter
"list disk" and enter
determine which disk is the "problem" disk
"select disk #" and enter where '#' is the number of the problem disk

WARNING!!!! THE FOLLOWING COMMAND AT THIS TIME WILL ERASE THE SELECTED DISK WITHOUT WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!

"clean" and press enter

What operating system are you using?

If Windows, you can manage your partitions by right-clicking "This PC" (My Computer) and selecting "Manage". From there, go to "Storage" and "Disk Management".
