GPT Partition on the disk management to delete
First of all, you should try the GPT Partition on the disk management of Windows to delete them:
- Open the Windows control panel, by clicking on the Windows Button and "control panel" to enter. Then click on "administration". If you are using the category view, you need to click previously on "System and security".
- Then, open the "computer management" and go to "disk management".
- Click on the GPT Partition with the right mouse button, select "Volume delete..." and follow the instructions.
- You can now create a new Partition.
The Disk Management
GPT Partition by using DiskPart, delete
Unfortunately, this approach does not always work. Alternatively, you can delete DiskPart the Partition with the command-line tool:
- Press the key combination [Win] + [R] and enter "cmd" (without the quotation marks) to open the command prompt.
- Type in the command "diskpart" (without the quotation marks) and press [Enter]. The security query on the user account control, confirm with "Yes", whereupon a new window opens.
- Enter in the new window, type the command "list disk" (without the quotation marks). Then, press [Enter] again.
- Select the Partition to be deleted, by you followed by the command "select disk" (without the quotation marks) from the data carrier number to enter.
- Type in the command "clean" (without the quotation marks) to delete the GPT Partition.
- You can now create a new Partition.
The DiskPart Tool
Note: keep in mind that in both methods, all data on the Partition will be lost. You can also use a GPT disk to MBR, convert, as we are on the next page show.
