Removing Windows

Question

I've been running Precise and XP in a dual-boot on my laptop for several months now. I'd like to pull the plug on XP and reclaim that wasted NTFS space. What's the easiest way to do that?

Removing windows is easy when you have Ubuntu installed.

Open the disk utility in Ubuntu
Select the partition where Windows is installed and format it.

This is enough to reclaim free space.

Still if you want to remove the Windows entry from grub, follow the link.

This should be the right way to do it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToRemoveWindows

I missed that you had dual boot, sorry! :)
