Is there a way for me to uninstall or delete EVERYTHING off of my computer including Linux Ubuntu because I want to make sure I can know everything that I have on it is just the stuff that I need. Please help me with this problem.

Burn a Ubuntu live cd. Start it and click "Try Ubuntu" then start gparted and delete every partition or create a new partition table.

  • That will NOT delete data, you need to over write the data not just partition. – Panther Jul 04 '15 at 19:50
  • Well is there any way to do it with no other recourses than the computer because i do not realy want to burne a disk or any thing else? – Blast Cloud Jul 04 '15 at 19:51

Try this:

Download the Ubuntu Trusty Tahr mini.iso:

32 bits, 4 gb of RAM or less:

Here

64 bits, More than 4 Gb of RAM:

Here

Copy it to /mnt

Edit the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom

End of file add these lines

menuentry "Ubuntu Netinstall" {
set isofile="/mnt/mini.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
linux (loop)/linux 
initrd (loop)/initrd.gz
}

Change at appropriate /, (hd0,1) it is /dev/sda1, (hd0,2) is /dev/sda2, (hd1,1) is /dev/sdb1

Run in a terminal

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

Switch on your computer.

Press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up the Grub menu.

Select the line which starts with Ubuntu Netinstall

Boot your computer from the the mini.iso and select Install

You can then follow the instructions from the text-based installer.

With manual partitioning you can delete and create partitions except /, that can only be overwritten.
