I have done this sort of thing recently. gparted should already be
installed with xubuntu. If not, from the terminal (also known as the
command line) type:
sudo apt-get install gparted
Once that is installed, do the following:
1. Backup your Xubuntu partition just to be on the safe side
2. Run gparted from the menu. I do not know the specific location
on xubuntu but it should be under something like "Administration"
or "System" or "System Tools."
3. Using gparted, delete ONLY the Ubuntu partition.
4. Apply changes
5. Using gparted, resize the Xubuntu partition. If it won't let you
do this, come back and let me know. We can still get there from
here.
6. Apply changes
7. From the command line type:
sudo update-grub
This will update the grub menu so only Xubuntu exists
8. From the command line type:
sudo grub-install
This will make the change in grub permanent.
You should at this point have the entire 80 GB available to Xubuntu.
One more note. I always keep all of my data on a separate partition.
I always mount it as /data when I install a new or updated Linux OS.
I don't use /home because some settings for one distro will not work
with another distro. In this way, I keep my home partition just for
settings then save all of my information on my /data partition. I
would suggest this to you while you are doing this. If you want me
to modify this to make a scheme such as this work for you, just let
me know.
