    Combine partitions on external SSD


    Have a 480 GB SSD that I had in my old PC. Have it plugged in using an external USB.
    I should know this.
    I want to combine all 5 0f these stupid partions into 1 to use as a replacement in another PC.
    I just want it back like as if I just took it out of a box.

    Doesn't it work if you right-click on each partition and choose delete volume?

    Then I think you have to create and name the single partition volume.

    Actually I remembered. You can't delete the healthy... partitions just by right clicking.
    Good old Disk Part to the rescue. Select Disk, Select Partion, Delete partition override

    You can use MiniTool Partition Wizard to merge all those partitions or just delete them and allocate one partition to fill the drive

    When I used Disk Part and "delete partition override" I was left with one large complete partition.
