Introduction

We can delete a Partition if we don't need it anymore, and an unallocated space will be generated as soon as we delete a partition. We can use this unallocated space to create more partitions, or we can simply allocate the unallocated space to other partitions.

Before you do

• After you delete a partition, all the files and data on that partition will also be deleted. So, please back up or transfer the useful data that you don't want to delete from the partition you are going to delete in advance.

• If there are other applications running on the partition that you are going to perform on, AOMEI Partition Assistant will notify you to close those applications.

How to delete partition in Partition Assistant step by step

Step 1: Select a partition to delete

Select the partition that you want to delete in the main window, right-click it, and select "Delete Partition" to open the related dialog. 

Step 2: Select delete method

There are two options:

• Delete partition quickly: the data that has been deleted is recoverable if you choose this option.

• Delete partition and wipe all data to prevent data recovery: AOMEI Partition Assistant will delete the partition and wipe all data on it. The data that has been deleted usually can not be recovered by any data recovery software, so please use it with caution.)

Choose whichever one according to your needs, then click "OK" to continue.

Step 3: Apply to proceed

Click "Apply" to execute the operation.

Note:

To ensure your operating system can work properly, AOMEI Partition Assistant will not allow you to directly delete system partition and if you have decided to delete system partition, you can create a Bootable Media with AOMEI Partition Assistant so that you can boot your pc from this bootable media to enter in Aomei Partition Assistant's interface to delete system partition.
