Hello. I want to completely remove my fedora installation from my pc since i only need windows and the fedora installation didnt work properly anyways (its really buggy). How can i do that? ( and get the space from the partition back )
Boot into WinPE (Windows install disc), open a command prompt with Shift+F10. Use diskpart to delete the Linux partition, and expand your Windows partition into the free space. Then use bootrec / bcdboot to repair the bootloader.

[QUOTE=MoustacheSpy;50973639]I dont have a windows install disk :/[/QUOTE] Download and burn one. Windows media creation tool lets you do that.
Just throw gparted onto a USB and boot to it, you can wipe out the partition and reformat it easy.

(unless it's a properly configured EFI system, or has a separate /boot partition - both of which I would assume not.)
