I have openSUSE 13.1 on sda1 (root) and sda2 (home), CentOS on sda3, Mint on sda4, and a swap/boot partition (according to fdisk). I would like to get rid of CentOS and Mint and reclaim the space.
Mint installed grub to sdaa let’s call it and when I format over Mint’s partition 4 and zypper remove grub2 and reinstall grub2 to sda and run grub2-mkconfig I get the grub prompt of sadness.
I dont want to back-up, format everything and reinstall just openSUSE, I should be able to do this right? What am I missing?
edit I should mention that openSUSE exists on two btrfs partitions that are part of a logical partition.
TIA
Start with showing “fdisk -l” output.
Sure - will do when I get home. I kind of made up the drive numbers when I posted, but it’s the general idea. Thx.

Working now…YAST…does bootloader config too…who knew? 
sda1 is actually your swap
sda3 is an extended
you might want to reassess your info
