                        <p>Hi Andrew,</p>
                        <p>Why do you want to delete partitions? Is
                          there a partition that immediately follows the
                          root filesystem partition? I presume you're
                          not attempting to delete the partition
                          containing the root filesystem - what is the
                          partition table output from fdisk?</p>
                        <p>I've never tried to delete partitions that
                          are mounted, but if you need to delete a
                          (non-root) partition, can you unmount it
                          first? (or in the case of swap, use swapoff)?<br>

                                  <p>Hi Andrew,</p>
                                  <p>What's the filesystem? And are you
                                    using LVM?</p>
                                  <p>Generally, you can resize a
                                    partition online if you're using LVM
                                    - you can also do it if you're not
                                    using LVM by editing the partition
                                    table, then running partprobe. Then,
                                    if you have an ext3 or ext4 file
                                    system, you can expand the
                                    filesystem to fill the available
                                    space in the partition whilst it's
                                    mounted using resize2fs.</p>
