Do Mär 07 17:59:40 2013 Good afternoon Thank You for help.
It is best to set the desired partition size at the time of installation. * Yes I know Thank You. But I did it to try what Ubuntu is better: Ubuntu or Xubuntu. So I like Xubuntu more and so I want to delete Ubuntu. If I understand you correctly, you currently have two partitions, one for Ubuntu, and One for Xubuntu. * Yes both 40 gb. hd=80 gb Gparted should be included in the Live CD/disc of UBUNTU (unless that has changed significantly since Version10.04). You could use that program to delete the Xubuntu partition and change the size of the Ubuntu partition. * I want to delete Ubuntu so I can see with gparted where there is Ubuntu and Xubuntu? When I would delete Ubuntu, what will happen with grub and booting? My reccomendation though, is it would be better to have a separate partion for Ubuntu where you can store files. * I do not understand. I only want to use now Xubuntu. Many users have one partition for the system ( ~ 20-25 GB would be a good size these days?), and then allocate the rest of the hard drive to a seprate partition. * What did I install: First Ubuntu with 80 gb. Then I installed one month later Xubuntu. And during install Xubuntu PC splitted hd to 49 gb Xubuntu and 40 gb Ubuntu. In the morning when the PC is booting it is offering to me Ubuntu or Xubuntu. Last three months I always booted Xubuntu this is the reason I want to delete Ubuntu. On this partition, the "/home" userspace folders are mounted. In this manner, most all setting files as well as any downloads and created documents stay safe there. Now you can completely uninstall and reinstall the OS without loosing all of your data and configuration settings (of course you would still need to back up /home just in case). * OK So I guess I am recommending either leaving the partitions as is or shrinking one by about half and increasing the other, then migrate /home to mount on the separate partition. * I think 40 gb are enough for Xubuntu. But how can I use 40 gb more for files without destroying Xubuntu? Here are two guides (one more gui friendly) if you decide you want to go that route. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving * OK Thank You. http://www.howtogeek.com/116742/how-to-create-a-separate-home-partition-after-installing-ubuntu/ * OK Thank You. And here is a similar howtogeek link that should give you whatever info you need if you just want to delete Xubuntu and have a big single partition (like you indicated). http://www.howtogeek.com/114503/how-to-resize-your-ubuntu-partitions/ * OK As far as I understood is this the best way for a clean hd?
