Disk Management will not allow you to delete partitions necessary for 
your operating system.
That is the good news.

That said, if you have a 2nd drive that you've temporarily attached to 
your machine and want to use disk management to delete it, Windows will 
not allow you to delete the boot partition.

To do so, you need to use "diskpart"   or else do so from Linux
