Bazzite Dualboot reinstall
Hey guys! I got dual boot windows and bazzite going on right now, but I’ve come to the realization i don’t really need windows anymore. Is there a way i can delete windows and give that partition to the existing bazzite or do i need to reinstall completely?

Yeah you can. The following should work
* Backup anything important. If anything goes wrong you'll need to reinstall
* have a look at your /etc/fstab file and make sure that you don't have a mount point configured for your Windows partition
* Boot a Live distro with Gparted installed (I use Mint)
* Remove the Windows NTFS partition only, the reason I say this is you might be sharing an EFI partition with Windows
* At this point you might want to Boot back into to Bazzite just to check that everything is still fine
* If everything is fine, you'll move and expand the Bazzite partition in Gparted, note that this will take a long time depending on the size of the partition. Don't disrupt this process in any way or you'll have data loss.
Thank you!! If all else fails and I decide to just reinstall Bazzite (and to be honest so far seems like the easiest solution since i don’t really have a lot to back up.) would i be able to reset my drive to a clean and full partition within the Bazzite distro?
Not exactly, since you can’t really wipe a disk if you are booting off that disk
The installer drive should be able to full wipe if necessary tho
Yea that’s that what i meant to ask thank you!!
