How do I safely remove ubuntu partition from windows?

I messed up with ubuntu update; now the desktop is empty, no launchbar and no sidebar, although all the files are there and the terminal is working.

I'd like to delete the linux partion and start a new ubuntu.

If You want to reinstall Ubuntu,You don't need to delete Ubuntu partition From Windows. You can delete partition while reinstalling Ubuntu. When Ubuntu is going to install ,It will detect your old installation and ask for Replace. You can also choose Something Else , Find and delete / partition.
