My desktop is a 2009 HP business desktop 64 bit, which came with Windows 7 . I currently have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed in a partition. I want to remove it and install Lubuntu 18.04 LTS in a partition. 16.04 was installed after removal of 14.04 LTS, but I can't remember the procedure. I found the following documentation, which doesn't address removal of existing partitions before creating a new partition.
https://docs.lubuntu.net/lubuntu_installation
My initial solution tor removal of existing partitions was to use Windows and simply delete them, but 1) I can't tell which partition is Windows, and I don't want to delete it, and 2)it occurred to me that simple deletion might wreak havoc with my machine. Question 1: is the documentation above authoritative/factual? Question 2: what is the correct way to remove the Ubuntu partition(s), and leave Windows 7 intact before creating a partition and installing Lubuntu?
