And then q

[vestal seal]

W saves and quits

Q not needed

[coarse ginkgo]

Yes

Oh sorry my bad

[vestal seal]

But if I go back in I can delete again

[coarse ginkgo]

Can you show the output of fdisk -l after deleting the partition?

[vestal seal]

No partition or free space is in cfdisk for this drive

Shitty 29.5 GB partition is back

[coarse ginkgo]

Reboot your device and try again

[vestal seal]

I've tried that like 5 times but I'll try again ig

Rebooted it's still there

What the fuck

[coarse ginkgo]

Try mounting that partition to check if its actually there or its a fdisk specifc problem

[vestal seal]

Mount command?

[coarse ginkgo]

mount —mkdir /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test

[coarse ginkgo]

Is it a bootable windows partition or did you recently mount it in windows?

[vestal seal]

I tried to install windows on it a while back

It's to small though is it errored out and isn't bootable

[coarse ginkgo]

Oh then it has unclean filesystem and since fdisk can’t delete the partition, it might be corrupted

Tbh idk how to fix that, maybe you can try formatting it as ntfs and then try deleting it

[vestal seal]

K

[vestal seal]

Nvm I somehow fucked it
