Here's my situation:

  • I have Windows 8.1 installed on my SSD
  • I have Ubuntu installed on my HDD
  • I have the boot loaders for both installed on my SSD

I want to remove Windows, and reinstall Ubuntu onto my SSD. How can I do this cleanly, without messing anything up?

Before doing anything drastic, always make a back-up and then go on to the easiest and safe way to do this is using os-uninstaller.

  1. Boot to Ubuntu from a LiveCD/DVD/USB

  2. Open a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+T and copy paste:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y os-uninstaller && os-uninstaller

  3. Open os-uninstaller from the dash and you'll get this window:

    choose the OS you want to remove. You'll be asked to confirm, click OK and wait tell it finishes removing.

Boot up your system with the ubuntu bootable disk or USB and choose the manual partitioning. Delete the windows partition and reinstall with the new OS on your HDD or SSD.
