How to remove partition using PowerShell in Windows 10

On a system powered by Windows 10 operating system, a partition is a logical division of the space available on a physical storage drive. As a drive can hold many partitions, you may need to reorganize them.

So, if you no longer need a particular partition or want to increase the space of another partition, you will need to delete that partition. There are several different ways to do that but in this guide, we will take the help of PowerShell.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can easily delete a partition on your Windows 10 computer using the PowerShell tool.
