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.
Thank you this is the kind of thing that I was after.
To make it even more foolproof install Ventoy on the flash drive and then just copy the Gparted Live ISO on the drive. Ventoy will detect the ISO and let you boot it.
You can add other useful ISO like this and have them around. You can also make folders where you put other files you need and use the drive as a regular drive, Ventoy won’t mind.
But yeah, never modify partitions from the same system that runs on them, always boot into a separate flash drive.
Oh so that’s what Ventoy does! I keep hearing this name but never got curious enough to dig. That’s really neat.
