Out of space, Help?

Thread Starter 
Okay, well I partitioned my hdd in half when I installed SuSE. I've been using a fair amount of space on my windows side, but barely anything on the Linux side. Now it seems liek my Linux side is eating up space of my windows side for no reason, now I only have 347mbs left of space on the windows partition, but I only have 25gb of data... now my linux side has stolen the whole drive.. any way I can delete the linux without reformating everything? I need all that space back for a few new games I just got... thanks.
*EDIT* Its all on the 120gb, the 60gb went to another comp.

you installed Suse on the partition without windows right??


go start
run type control pannel
double click on administrative tools
double click on computer management
in this program click on disk management
right click on the partition you want to format and format away...

Also i guess you could just right click on the drive in my computer and select format, but my way gives you more options
