If you want to delete all partitions using Windows 11 the procedure is similar but I made a dedicated tutorial for it so that you won't make any mistakes :) Windows 11 Watch here: ruclips.net/video/p_cNBryIJFk/видео.html
Just what I needed. Moved an old SSD from another computer to use a extra storage on the new computer, couldn't figure out how to clean the drive. Great job Thanks!
Excellent. You got rid of a lot of frustration caused by consolidating files onto another disk, leaving me a 10T HDD empty, but with 9 partitions, and not knowing how to get rid of them.
I had the exact same problem as Poppa Steve and I'm sure others as well. The perfect tutorial. Thank you very much from a South African 72 year old noob. Keep up the good work son.
If you just want to delete all partitions at once, enter diskpart, select your disk and then write the command “clean” Edit: after deleting all of your partitions they will override and then you just want to write the command “create partition primary” while the disk is selected
fantastic. simple, straight forward. This video worked perfectly, I decided I would just start with a clean SSD after going back and forth over windows 10 cloning and boot errors no one seems to have any idea what they are talking about or how to do anything they give advice for just to get a lifetime total of 30 cents ad revenue. I'm glad this video was much more helpful than those.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very helpful and much appreciated. I spent a few hours on how to accomplish this and your video had me solved in less than 15 minutes.
Perfect! I was trying to use my old SSD on a different computer, and was having trouble installing Win10 due to partition issues. This cleared it right up. Thank you so much!
I like your videos, but what about just using "clean" ? Warning: Once you type clean and hit enter the drive will be erased. No warning will be provided. Same as in the video type "diskpart" and press Enter type "list disk" and press Enter. choose which disk you want to delete then in this case disk1 type "select disk 1" type "clean" and press Enter. disk 1's partition, data, and signature is now removed. You will return to the diskpart prompt.
I was ready to rip out my hair! i tried cloning my maxed out ssd to my new one and messed up the partitions so i looked for like a hour how to freaking to just delete all the partitions, even this video wouldnt let me delete the partitions for some stupid reason. But your instructions worked perfectly, thanks!!
Honestly his video is a good way for somebody that wants to just delete a partition or 2, but he fucked up when he did the same thing for all partitions and deleted them separately and ended up deleting everything. He might as well used the "clean" command as you stated instead of just deleting them one by one
great tutorial, thank you! I had to go into command prompt in recovery options on restart to delete the final System partition from my old windows install, but I just followed the same instructions here and it worked
Excellent step by step and easy to follow instructions. However here in the UK, or at least on my laptop, I had to amend the 'delete partition overide' instruction to 'delete partition override' (Note two r's). EDIT: Belatedly noticed that you had to retype.
Why did i found your video after 1 day of spending and trying everything i could think of to delete an ssd partition.Your God !!! Thanks bro !!! YOu just won a subs 😉
I was installing kali linux os but it fails and my hdd corrupted so I clean the hard disk by clean command by diskpart in troubleshoot option and install the Windows again. And my all partitions deleted with data. Now only 1 local disk C remaining of 932 gb. So tell me how can I recover it plzzz. Do it is permanently deleted?? It was important photos for me
Just use disc management, delete the partition you want. When it becomes unallocated, expand the volume on the other half. You should now have your original factory disk quota.
Nice video. A word of advise, be very careful on how to remove a partition in particular, especially if you boot Windows 10 and Linux with Linux installed first, and if you no longer use Linux and delete the Linux partition, on the next boot, computer does not boot showing a GRUB error, so have a Windows 10 installation media (via USB stick or DVD) at hand to reset the MBR and such or re-install Windows if necessary if you encounter a horrific mistake or if you delete the wrong partition and computer no longer boot once you restart it and ALWAYS BACK UP your files to the cloud or an external hard drive/SSD/USB thumb drive
hey your comment doesn't really makes sense. You're saying that you have one HDD/SSD with 2 partitions containing 2 OS's. If you wanna delete the linux partition and leave the windows partition for example, it doesn't make sense to delete the linux partition and leave the windows partition intact. What would work best is to just format the HDD/SSD via dvd/usb media and format the entire thing including both partitions at once and start over. Without completely re-formatting the drive, it might lead to some missing files and lost path to some files
Virtual Disk is the "Safe Mode" of the PC where you can enter it to experiment with, without breaking the entire PC. You need to first exit the Safe Mode and boot from the windows itself. i think that this is your issue here. Lemme know if this helped :)
When I try to delete partition 2 it says "virtual disk service error: delete is not allowed on the current boot, system, pagefile..................." I've been trying for so long :(( I want to delete completely my hhd of all files and the OS so I can install an OS on my new SSD. But I cant select the SSD in BIOS if an OS is already on my hhd. and I cant get windows off my old hhd . maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a clone M.2 NVMe SSD and now I am building a new system and I wanted a clean slate. So easy. Thank you very much! Direct to the point.
Thank you for wonderful video. I tried to save window 10 as backup on my external hard drive, but window deleted all rest of my data and documents that I had on that in cleanup process. How Can I get them back, Any help please.
I want to delete a linux os partition on my main ssd without affecting the windows os and recuperate the remaining space. I'll look for a solution to my specific problems, thank for you explanation it's helping me understand how i could do it.
all it is saying for me when i try to delete a partition it says the specified command or parameters are not supported on this system how do i fix this

I actually figured it out myself through windows 11 (thanks to this video) but appreciate three thoughts 🙂
Select partition 1. Or 2 or 3. It is not “select 1 or 2. Etc”
I spent over 6 hours watching videos and trying to clean disk. You explained it in 5 minutes... Big thanks dude !!!
Same here. I tried Disk Management for hours but the 2 partitions stayed put. Like you said, 5 minutes is all we needed.
sometimes you dont need to use cmd prompt n works fine this is that super override lol
@@edmundverwey617did this make ur pc faster
Same here! Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks man, this video was clever, simple and direct. RUclips needs more guys like you:)
100%!

Just want to tell you that this comment completely saved me, as it wasn't letting me delete the individual partitions. Thank you!!
GOD!!!
Video should be a blueprint for any tutorial on YT. Explained well, and made my life a little bit easier. Thank you!
Glad it helped!

Thank you! Not often I have to do computer magic, so I forgot how… great video showing exactly what was needed. Thanks again!

I deleted it completely and the device does not work anymore. By mistake, I entered the disk management and clicked Remove. What should I do?
Well my format drive tutorials show how to make the space usable again, assuming you dont have files on yhete you wanna keep
