DISKPART Commands to delete hard disk partitions | DISKPART CMD

In windows with the help of disk management, we can use it to format partitions, delete partitions, create the partition, shrink volume, expand the volume, and so on. But disk management has its limited function which means cannot do much more activities on the system partition. So, with the help of the command line we can do much more than aspect on disk management, so let’s get started.

In this post, we will be using DISKPART command line, now let’s get started

To open or Start DISKPART

1.   type CMD on start

2.   run command prompt by right click and "Run as administrator"

3.   give permission yes, which will open the command prompt

4.   Type DISKPART.

Alternative

• 1.   “Win + R” and type cmd
• 2.   Inside cmd type “diskpart”
• 3.   Click on yes

In the command prompt we see

DISKPART> list disk

--------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---

Disk 0    Online          250 GB      0 B            *

Disk 1    Online         1503 GB  861 GB               *

DISKPART> select disk 1

Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> list partition

DISKPART> select partition 1

Partition 1 is now the selected partition.

DISKPART> delete partition

Here we encountered an error, since the partition is system protected.

So we need to override.

Disk Part successfully deleted the selected partition.

DISKPART> list partition
