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.

8. We just want to leave this as the default. In my example, it would look like this:
`Last sector (19826688-2147483614, default = 2147483614) or {+-}size{KMGTP}: 2147483614`
9. Just leave this as-is and press ++ENTER++ without entering any values. Assuming you are using XFS, as this guide was written for, the default "Linux Filesystem" is what you want for XFS.

10. This will write the changes to the partition table making them reality instead of just staging the changes.
!!! warning "Point of No Return"
When you press `w` then ++ENTER++ the changes will be written to disk, meaning there is no turning back unless you have full GuestVM backups with something like Veeam Backup & Replication. Be certain the first and last sector values are correctly configured before proceeding.

## Detect the New Partition Sizes
At this point, the operating system wont detect the changes without a reboot, so we are going to force the operating system to detect them immediately with the following commands to avoid a reboot.
