From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gparted, you can delete the Windows partition and resize the Linux one to fill the space.
This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyways: backup any important data beforehand, just in case.
Preferably image the whole disk to some file on another disk so you can unfuck anything that gets fucked.
This only works for people who have disks lying around big enough to backup their entire primary disk
And make sure you save any important data on the Linux partitions, don't just assume that /home or /sys will be there after the resize.
And your partition must on the right (I think?) To merge to the main disk.
This is the way :)
