How do I.. help please.. easy problem

[King_c]

I'm awful with computers, I have ubuntu 10.10 and don't understand partioning etc. I want to wipe my drive,everything EXCEPT the operating system (and auto boot obviously), without having to use a memory stick external hard drive etc, just leave ubuntu OS on but delete EVERYTHING else, is this possible?

Thank you so much in advance :)

PS. I have a format drive and format volumes option if this helps. drive says something about master boot record, volumes says something about linux(0x83), which my computer once was or ubuntu 10.10 is? :)

Im not much good with PC's either. But think with Ubuntu u will have to use the boot disk like when u installed it. But instead of partioning it use the whole drive. It will wipe the drive But not sure if it will format everything before it installs it again. So u might have to backup all ur data 1st. U can use a partion manager to wipe the partion as well then increase the ubuntu partion to fill the drive. But ive never tried to wipe a partion only change the size. so not sure if that will do what u want. Try the EASEUS partition manager. Its free. Just google it and download it and see if that does what u want. If u use ur PC for games keep windows as well as Ubuntu isnt very good for gaming. Edited April 6, 2011 by cliff60
