From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I recently deleted Linux because it was too addicting to me, and accidently locked 300gigs of my drive away. (lemmy.world)

I don't know what I did but I must've messed up somehow while deleting the distro, so now I only have 700 gigs of my total 1tb of disk space left, when I try to merge the other unallocated 300gigs of space back to the drive, it says "there's not enough space in the disk(s)". Anyone willing to help? here are the screenshots:

Is that EFI partition still being used? I take it there's a EFI partition on your windows drive, correct?

What you can do is create a bootable usb with a live linux distro and use gparted to sort out your partitions

my windows is installed on my C drive so I don't think it's used(?)
