How to uninstall Ubuntu on your computer?

Previously we wrote about the installation procedure of Ubuntu.Now you can find the procedure for deleting Ubuntu from your PC.
          If you are deleting Ubuntu because of a problem in maintenance or finding it difficult to use Ubuntu , please write to us and we will help solve your problems.


Important : You can't just delete your Ubuntu partition and be happy that everything is out and over. Ubuntu usually messes up your Windows bootloader, so you have to set it right and this is how its done.

Deleting Ubuntu using Windows Vista/7/XP WITH a recovery disk
  1. In Windows, launch Disk manager and remove every partition used by Ubuntu (root partition, swap, …)
  2. Reboot with your Windows CD. When asked, choose “repair” and launch fixmbr. This command replaces GRUB with Windows bootloader.
  3. Reboot again and you are done.
Deleting Ubuntu using Windows Vista/7/XP WITHOUT a recovery disk

Follow Step 1 from above.

This is the same as above but since you do not possess a recovery disk, you need to download the 'MbrFix' command. This can be downloaded here for free.

Once you download it, paste the command somewhere convenient like the Desktop.Then open your cmd .This can be done by going to Start->run->cmd.

When cmd opens, the default directory will be Documents and Settings\admin.Change it Desktop.
Use the following command twice one after the other to change your present working directory to C:/
                                      cd ..

Then change your directory to Desktop once you reach C:/
This can be done using the following command
                                     cd Desktop

Now type in the following command
MbrFix /C 0 fixmbr /yes
                                
You should get a confirmation msg.
Reboot and you are done.
