How to I remove windows but keep Ubuntu?

So basically I started with Windows Vista then decided I want Ubuntu. Now I have Dualboot using both of them, and want to delete Windows without starting over. And because I've tried the USB boot to replace Windows but got an error, that I couldn't find an answer to.

Is it possible at all?

Simplified version: I start with A add B so I got AB now now I want to delete A and only have B

OS Uninstaller will remove your Windows partition and fix your Grub bootloader.

enter the following int he terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/os-uninstaller
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y os-uninstaller && os-uninstaller

The program will install and start, it will look something like this:

Just select Windows Vista in the menu and the click ok.

Click Apply The program will do the rest.

P.S. this is how I removed my Windows 7 from my computer, so I know it works.

    For 14.04 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/os-uninstaller did raise Cannot add PPA error. Replacing it with sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair worked for me.

  • @ablmf OS-Uninstaller works for any os you have on your system. the link in my answer is still good the instructions should still work, the page I linked to hasn't changed so they procedure should still be the same

You should be able to boot into the live CD and run gparted to delete the Windows partition and move your partitions around. You'll want to back up before doing this. sudo update-grub should then remove Windows as a boot option.
