Does Disk Management have a "Delete Partition" option ?
Right-click on the partition and examine your options.

Start : Run : diskmgmt.msc

They don't show up in disk management.

Maybe it's just me, but I might think that if I was really looking for
help, I would mention how the partitions were created in the first
place. I might also consider using the same tool that created them to
delete them.

I found out that the partition types are XINT13.

PARTITION_FAT32_XINT13

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx

Windows 95/98: Specifies a partition that uses extended INT 13 services.

I recently tried to install Win98 on one of my partitions.

I can find anything in my registry.

Double-check disk management. The bottom window sometimes has scroll
bars which can be used to view all the items. I usually just maximize it. If they aren't
there, please repost with more information, including the reason you think they exist.

Correlate your table against this. See the pattern ?

http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partition...n_types-1.html

Your table doesn't define numeric values. This table
from Microsoft, assigns numbers. Now the pattern becomes
clearer.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx

PARTITION_FAT32_XINT13 0x0C

In other words, it's just a "regular ole FAT32" partition.

It should show up in Disk Management.
It can be deleted via Disk Management. Click and select
Delete from the menu. Done. The area should then show up
as "Unallocated" or the like.

*******

A partition type could be a Primary one. Suitable
for a brand new OS installation. The table in the
MBR, has room for four entries of that type.

A partition can also be Logical, contained in an
Extended envelope. That mechanism allows a lot more
partitions to be defined. Multiple logical partitions
can live in a single Extended envelope. You can
have three primaries, then, an Extended being the
fourth MBR entry, and in there, have a ton of
logical partitions defined.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_boot_record

Disk Management should still do a fine job of
displaying the partitions, in either case. And if for
any reason, the Disk Management display is illegible,
you can use the command line "DiskPart" utility,
to do any deletes you might need.

Disk Management is not showing it.

I am not going to worry about it anymore.

Fire up the command line DiskPart.

And live a little :-)
