Partition issues

[Dognapper0]

I had a Ubuntu Partition on my hardrive, but now I use a different disk for that.
So, I thought I would create a continuous partition for my windows. I tried to delete the partition and it sort of wiped it, but doesn't turn it into free space like I thought it would. Whenever I try to format or delete the odd partition, I get an error message "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this opperation."

I don't know what to do next.
Help.

What software are you using? Probably what you will need to do is re-size the primary partition. When you deleted the "odd" partition it became unallocated space. If I am reading your post correctly you are wanting only one partition.

I was using the Windows disk manager. (Notice the past tense.)
I discovered a small recovery partition that Ubuntu normally creates. I was wary to remove this because it was lable recovery. (The fact that I had two recovery partitions tipped me off. I deleted this partition (3.34Gb). Then I had enough to actually remove the larger (76.25Gb) partition, letting me extend my Windows partition (200.41Gb) to it's orriginal size (280.00Gb).
All is well. No thanks to you. Really, I just troubleshot myself in the foot at first.

Ubuntu (or any Linux) doesn't create a "recovery" partition, that is usually something related to OEM manufacturers making a "recovery OS" partition to help users install Windows on their computer.

As recommended by the others, Easeus is the way to go imho.

@ ravisunny2 Thanks for posting the link for the Giveaway of the day. I had no idea Easeus done such things. This is great.

All is well. No thanks to you.

While probably initiated by your sense of humor, I fail to see how such comments are either warranted or even necessary.
