He recently started exploring dual-booting to experience a Linux setup. I shared the instructions and links for mounting an ISO and trying Elementary OS with him. After some time, he found the Elementary OS setup unsatisfactory and wants to remove it. I told him he needs to delete the partition where Linux was installed. The issue is he can't locate it—there are two drives: a 1TB primary and a 500GB secondary. Only three partitions were listed, with two for system use and one for the other drive. The second drive partition appears almost full. Why isn’t the Linux partition visible? And what’s the proper way to remove it? Thanks in advance. -Zonus

He might not have set it up and was using the USB drive as a running operating system.

Im with fly in this one, but he could have also installed it under windows. I know that some distros let you install it as a program if you alredy have windows.

You're looking for a way to identify or access a specific partition, possibly related to an EXT4 filesystem. The suggested approach involves using tools like GParted Live USB or disk to manage and locate partitions.

It’s probably located in C:\ProgramFiles somewhere. I did this before Ubuntu, Mint, and even when Mint stopped supporting it (about two years ago).

You can set the location to where you want it, though it usually uses programfiles by default.

Never experienced this before. It wasn't crucial. Just hoping @Zonus returns with a screenshot of the specified directories.

It won't be found in C:\ guys; he likely just moved it from the USB drive without realizing you need to install it.
