Can I delete extended partition Linux?
An extended partition can only be removed, after all logical partitions in it have been removed first. In your case this means: Start by making a backup of the 3 GB of data on /dev/sda6 (NTFS) to an external medium in case they are worth being backed up and restored later. Remove /dev/sda6.
