1. You might have insufficient disk space on your primary partition, but more space available on other partitions, and wish to merge these partitions to increase the available space on the primary one. 2. You might want to delete all partitions altogether and create a single partition.

No matter what problem you encounter, you can always use the Partition Master tool to merge partitions. Partition Master Free is the first free partition manager that offers a "Merge Partition" feature for Windows Home users, which works for merging two partitions. It only supports Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 systems.
