windows - How can I manually delete my Ubuntu partition?

Can anyone tell me how to delete Ubuntu from a Linux / Windows dual boot system without harming Windows?




I ran sudo fdisk /dev/sda in a linux terminal and got the following output:




  • /dev/sda1 - system

  • /dev/sda2 - Compaq diagnostics

  • /dev/sda3 - HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

  • /dev/sda5 - W95 Ext'd (LBA)

  • /dev/sda6 - Linux

  • /dev/sda7 - Linux swap / solaris




From my online searches, I know how to delete any of these partitions but what I don't know is if I should delete any of the other non-linux labeled partitions to complete the process.
