+# Never delete the first, the second and the last partition because that either
+# renders your mac unbootable (first two) or unupgradable (last one). However
+# you can recover the system by using a second system if you screw up.
+
+# In the above example we need to delete the partition number 3 (stub partition
+# you can identify it by the size 2500 MB). The partition 4 (you can identtify
+# it by the fact that it is fat32 and the flags boot, esp). And the partition
+# number 5 (you can identify it by the fact that it is ext4).
+
+You delete the partitions by doing:
+
+# n is the partition number
+sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1 rm <n>
+
+# If you're asked if you want to proceed, say 'y'. If your asked if you want to
+# ignore, say, ignore.
