parted: rm

1  -- Command: rm NUMBER
1 
1      Removes the partition with number NUMBER.  If you accidently delete
1      a partition with this command, use mkpart to recover it.  Also, you
1      can use the gpart program (⇒Related information) to recover
1      damaged disk labels.

1      Note for msdos disk labels: if you delete a logical partition, all
1      logical partitions with a larger partition number will be
1      renumbered.  For example, if you delete a logical partition with a
1      partition number of 6, then logical partitions that were number 7,
1      8 and 9 would be renumbered to 6, 7 and 8 respectively.  This
1      means, for example, that you have to update '/etc/fstab' on
1      GNU/Linux systems.

1      Example:
1 
1           (parted) rm 3
1 
1      Remove partition 3.
