Hello all
So I have been using Garuda for a few months now and love it, but when I was doing some maintenance on the system, I noticed that I still have 2 partitions on my NVME for when I had Windows 11. Small partitions (less than 1GB), but I want them gone.
I thought I had cleaned wiped the SSD when I installed Garuda and thought that was the case when I check the disk manager within Garuda and didn’t see them. I only saw them as I was creating a merge of two disks and have them showing in the partition list.
My question is, I’m happy to re-install the OS, but I’m not well versed on how to do it before installing the OS in Linux or even within my current OS. I’m still getting my grips with Linux, and any help or even pointers will be greatly appreciated.
gparted can be installed and run as app on the system, it will give you a good sense of what the partitions are and how they are labeled and flagged. The disk tool (like GnomeDisks) should be reporting the same. if you get differing results it can sometimes be partition was flagged amd removed but the underying data is there and getting picked up by whichever tool is scanning the disk.
