sorry to bother you again mate.
If I understand correct I can ´delete´sda7 and sda6 (both ext4) ?? which should leave sda2 (extended) intact ?? Or do I need to format sda2 as ext4 (??) here it comes, my I don't know what to do. will sda2 still be available (for data storage) after deleting sda6 and sda7 ?? in other words: Deleting sda6 and ada7 will create free, unused space ?? Which i can assign to sda2 ?? I would imagine the actual LL-Sys (booting with no USB) resides on sda1 (ext4) ??
Or was it better to do a complete re-install (trying to recollect the complete SSD) ?? Meaning: Delete sda1 as well ??
If so YES, how would I force this after the USB - boot ?? I am asking, because I tried this before and ended with the mess I am currently facing.
Please note: The grandpa never stored his data on the Sys-Boot device (even so it was partitions on the same HD only) which saved my life more than once !!
[...] LL is installed on the SSD, I am not booting from a live-media. There is no data of any value on this SSD, other than the OS. So a complete "re-format" would not do any harm. [...]
[...] With ´gparted´ I am not really getting anywhere, other than I manage to start it.It will show exact the a.m. partitions, but does not allow me to do anything with them. [...]

Apparently I found out how to receive a notification - message
lsblk
@stevef [...] Yes the guess for 32 bit version question is right. [...]
I ran the: ´inxi -CDxxxx´command, but the return does not show any ´bits´ statement.
sudo inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz
[...] @Serban S.My system does not allow me to enter an accented "S", hence I don't find / ping you .... sorry. [...]
[...] As far as I (am guessing) understand I installed LL (Linux Lite) 3.8 accidentally 2x hence the HD (here a 500 GB SSD) is scattered a lotBut please forgive me my lag of expertise, I am still learningand I would want to repurpose this LT e.g. have both OS's Win-XP and LL 3.8 installed side by side with dual-boot option.
