That depends how you created the partition i think ,try disk manager in control panel, go to administrative tools/computer management /disk management

Thats how i removed it. i created the partiton when booting up linux. i decided i didnt want it so i removed the partiton with linux on it it, but i am unable to deleted the other side of the partiton with windows, otherwise i would loose all data.
