I have a PC currently configured to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. I don’t need Windows anymore, but Mint is working just fine and I’d rather avoid wiping the whole thing and starting over. Is there a safe way to just get rid of Windows?

    Do you have data on the Windows partition?

    Either way, a good way to do it might be to use dd (or a different disk image tool) to copy your Linux installation partitions to a portable hard drive, and make sure the image works. Then wipe the drive and copy the Linux partitions back to it via dd or another imaging tool.
