Hey, so i installed windows using bootcamp on my macbook, I really dont use it that much and id rather have the space free to use for my macintosh HD. How do I go about deleting it, so that it will get rid of everything associated with it? Do I eject the windows HD? Do I move it to the trash? Is there something else I should do? Thanks

- Back up your OSX partition
- start the computer from the install disk
- start disk utility once boot has completed
- select the drive
- set the number of partitions to one
- erase the drive
- restore the drive from the back up

Go back to Boot Camp. Follow the instructions. Pick the appropriate thing.

Ok, I see, it gives me the option to "create or remove window partition", so i just remove the windows partition and it will give me back all the HD space for my mac?
