Ubuntu 9.04 Uninstall Problem *Help!*

Jacob321 · 05-06-2009, 07:49 PM

So, I've been experimenting with Ubuntu 9.04, and since I'm very worried about messing up my PC, I decided I would use a program called Wubi to install Linux.

Well, the install went nice and clean, but then I noticed a problem.

I found a problem in Linux, and thought the best way to fix it would be to reinstall Ubuntu. So, I went into Add/Remove Programs to look for the uninstall file. Well, it wasn't there. That freaked me out, so I thought installing a new copy of Ubuntu would fix the problem. Well, the problem went away, but I still didn't get the 20 gigs back from the previous install of Ubuntu.

I have uninstalled the reinstall Ubuntu partition, and am still missing 20 gigs of hard drive space. Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks

moved to linux help..

and boot up a copy of ubuntu live cd, use the partition manager to delete the old ubuntu partition and merge it with your main one, then re-install ubuntu.
