deleting EFI partition would likely (not 100%, depends on device design) soft brick the device, i am assuming you are mounting the storage offline?

2016-07-08 23:21:59 UTC  

this is how it was

2016-07-08 23:22:06 UTC  

well I reversed it now

2016-07-08 23:22:10 UTC  

I just want to delete windows

2016-07-08 23:22:14 UTC  

and make android_data bigger

2016-07-08 23:23:01 UTC  

i think what you can do is resize the partitions like an inchworm until you get to android_data

2016-07-08 23:23:38 UTC  

k my mouse is connected to my tablet

2016-07-08 23:23:41 UTC  

so I cant press 😄

2016-07-08 23:24:18 UTC  

so what I do is

2016-07-08 23:24:23 UTC  

make the ntfs unallocated

2016-07-08 23:24:40 UTC  

when make the one over unallocated

2016-07-08 23:24:42 UTC  

huge

2016-07-08 23:24:50 UTC  

that partition table is confusing lol

2016-07-08 23:24:54 UTC  

"microsoft android" etc

2016-07-08 23:24:55 UTC  

and then make it small at the same size again

2016-07-08 23:24:58 UTC  

😄

2016-07-08 23:25:03 UTC  

chinks ❤

2016-07-08 23:25:24 UTC  

yeah, but you make it small over to the right so that the extra space has been moved to the left

2016-07-08 23:25:49 UTC  

then you repeat the process until you get to the data partition

2016-07-08 23:26:09 UTC  

what @Count Blecky said is correct, you could keep resizing between adjacent partitions until you get it where you need it i suppose

2016-07-08 23:26:13 UTC  

oh great I cant change to size of the Microsoft reserved partition

2016-07-08 23:26:23 UTC  

should I just delete that partition?

2016-07-08 23:26:25 UTC  

parted shouldnt care

2016-07-08 23:26:26 UTC  

also?

2016-07-08 23:27:06 UTC  

but if it does, it _should_ be okay to delete, as long as they arent misleading you and its actually something critical

2016-07-08 23:27:20 UTC  

yeah

2016-07-08 23:27:29 UTC  

I think its just a normal windows 10 partition

2016-07-08 23:27:51 UTC  

this shit is so scary

2016-07-08 23:28:22 UTC  

first time I ever messed with linux I accidentally deleted windows completely

2016-07-08 23:28:30 UTC  

learned fast after that

2016-07-08 23:28:43 UTC  

it was soon after a fresh PC build so it wasn't too bad

2016-07-08 23:29:01 UTC  

Generally your partition table won't be quite as fucked with this

2016-07-08 23:29:07 UTC  

Dual boot is hackiness from the beginning

2016-07-08 23:29:12 UTC  

yeah mine was clean

2016-07-08 23:29:15 UTC  

I just pressed the wrong thing

2016-07-08 23:29:20 UTC  

Hahah

2016-07-08 23:29:24 UTC  

ok im doing it

2016-07-08 23:29:29 UTC
