!!! warning "Be Careful"

When you follow these steps, you will be deleting the existing partition and immediately re-creating it. If you do not use the **EXACT SAME** starting sector for the new partition, you will destroy data. Be sure to read every annotation next to each command to fully understand what you are doing.

1. The first command needs you to enter the disk identifier. In most cases, this will likely be the first disk, such as `/dev/sda`. You do not need to indicate a partition number in this step, as you will be asked for one in a later step after identifying all of the partitions on this disk in the next command.
|
||||
2. This will list all of the partitions on the disk.
|
||||
3. This will ask you for a partition number to delete. Generally this is the last partition number listed. In the example below, you would type `4` then press ++enter++ to schedule the deletion of the partition.
