How to delete all partitions in windows 11?
If you're planning to delete all partitions on Windows 11, yeah, there's definitely some stuff to watch out for. From what I’ve seen, deleting all partitions basically wipes everything on that drive—think of it like a clean slate. If you accidentally delete the wrong drive or partition, you could lose important data. Also, if you’re deleting your system or boot partition (the one Windows is installed on), your PC won’t be able to start up anymore until you reinstall Windows.
Here’s my informal take:
If you’re deleting all partitions on Windows 11 for a fresh start or to reformat the drive, make absolutely sure you’re selecting the correct drive. Double-check everything before hitting delete. I’ve seen folks accidentally wipe their main drive, and that’s a huge headache. Always, always back up anything important before you do this. Once you wipe it, recovering data can be a pain, and sometimes it’s impossible.
