Windows 10: Made a HDD partition 1-2 yr ago. Now I want it gone.

Quick story: Dual boot linux partition created I never used. I want it gone and HD back to normal:

Long story: So, about 2 years ago, I had a great idea I was going to dual boot Lunix. It worked for a bit then something went wrong. I did something with my disk partition. I dedicated a large part of the drive only to Linux. I have more than enough drive space, it never interfered with anything. Still does not. But now I would like to reclaim that space to be part of my hard drive. How do I wipe out the partition I created and reclaim that disk space? Like I mentioned, I have no idea how I did it. I followed a Wikihow or similar article. Now I want that partition gone and things to go back to "normal". I looked on the net found lots of advice. Though all steps are a bit different. They do not mention dual OS. So, I am asking the pros. Do I need to do anything Specific?

Re- image your computer : Error 0x80780043

I tried the mentioned steps but issue is not solved.

Issue 1: I have a new hdd (MBR partition ) with nothing on it. I made a recovery drive using windows 10. Then I used troubleshoot options to recover laptop through system image which is in other hdd(GPT partition ). When I click yes to recover
the above error appears again.

Issue 2 : Also I want to know can I restore new hdd with system image on new hdd itself or I need to save it on external hdd ?

Please suggest for above 2 issues.

 

System recovery from recovery partition using cmd

I am going the lose my data anyways, the thing that I am concerned about is that I tried doing a clean Windows reinstall and it asked me to choose which partition/disk I wanted to install it to. I can just delete all the partitions and reinstall on the
1 big partition but I want to split it again into 5 partitions when I first bought the computer. Right now 1 partition (128MB) is MSR reserved, 2 partitions are for recovery (450MB and other 850MB) [Is it normal for it to have 2 recovery partitions?] 1 partition
(99MB) is for system and then 1 partition (930GB) for main. After deleting them, how can I assign them the same jobs? And will my computer be able to run on this HDD without the HDD drivers because I'll be deleting them too (?).

 

Hi there.

Ordinarily I would have suggested using disk manager to remove it but because its a linux partition, Windows won't see it. You can use a gparted live cd to redo the partitions. I would back up any important before doing this.
