Select the NTFS partition you wish to delete
Press L to confirm
Press F3 twice to exit the NT setup
Usually a NTFS partition can be deleted using FDISK (delete non-DOSpartition), however this will not work if the NTFS partition is in the extendedpartition.
You can delete an NTFS partition using Disk Administrator, by selecting thepartition and pressing DEL (as long as it is not the system/boot partition).
