Can I Delete HDD Partition with CMD?

Hello. I'm a beginner to Windows computer, and I need help to delete a partition on my hard drive. I've heard about other users using commands to operate various disk or partition tasks. Can someone tell me if I can delete the HDD partition with CMD? If so, how do I operate exactly? Or is there any easier way to do so? Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can delete the HDD partition with CMD.

The Command Prompt is a built-in program in Windows computers. It allows you to manage your disks and partitions, fix disk errors, and run computing tests.

However, certain knowledge is required to operate tasks securely with CMD. If you are unfamiliar with CMD and want no unexpected errors to happen on your computer, using free partition manager software is highly recommended.
