How to resize partitions?
4 answers
I am getting used to Ubuntu 18.04, and when I first installed Ubuntu I set it so that I could still run windows 10. Now I want to switch to just be Ubuntu. I would like my Ubuntu partition to destroy my existing windows partition and expand so that my ubuntu partition is the size of both my existing windows partition & existing ubuntu partition.
While I would love to keep the existing file structure of Ubuntu, I do have a back up of the entire file system.

I'd HIGHLY recommend keeping the Windows partition, as you'll need it to do some things that you can't do in Ubuntu... like BIOS or firmware updates, etc.

Using GParted to remove windows partition
This should explain how to do it using GParted. You just need to delete the windows partition in GParted before resizing the Linux partition, by right clicking on the windows partition and clicking "Delete"
