I made a mistake while installing Ubuntu, so I had to install it twice. Unfortunately, I now have two identical installs of Ubuntu. I am trying to use GParted to delete the partitions with the install but I am getting this error: Unable to delete /dev/sda10! Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 10. This is how my partitioning table look in GParted: Gparted

sda1 & sda2 is Windows, sda4 is a swap area, sda10-12 is the Ubuntu installation I don't use, sda13&14 is the Ubuntu installation I am using, and sda5-9 is a Kali installation I occasionally use and don't want to delete.

This is the output I got when I ran df to double check that I was booting from sda13&14.

$ df
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev             4006212       0   4006212   0% /dev

tmpfs             805276      12    805264   1% /run/user/121
tmpfs             805276      32    805244   1% /run/user/1000

What I want to do is to delete sda10-12 and merge the free space into sda14. But as mentioned I am getting an error message when trying to delete them. I still have the Ubuntu Live USB which I can boot from, but I don't want to destroy any of my other OS's. So what I am wondering is, how can I safely accomplish what I want to do?
