I have a dual-boot running Mint and Ubuntu. I want to uninstall the Ubuntu partition and use all the space for Mint, since I haven't used Ubuntu in a while.

Is GParted still the best way to rip out Ubuntu and increase the Mint partition?

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who commented and gave advice. In the end I just wiped the machine, installed a new instance of Mint, then restored my old data using Deja Dup (after downloading it). I'm back, so I guess it worked.

Gparted works well enough, last I checked. Just delete the partitions, and the space will be freed to make a new partition from that reclaimed space. You will have to remind the bootloader or reinstall the bootllader to be able to properly default to the OS you want.
