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.

I usually go with gparted. Delete the partitions. Save/sync. Reboot, use a live cd to boot and use gparted to grow the disk. This assumes you are not using lvm though. The process to grow the pv/volume is a little different.

I'm not using lvm, so there's that. ;-)

Thanks for the sanity check.
