I have started to install Arch Linux and I reached to step partitions. How I can delete the partition where my Debian Linux is located? I see only 465 GB of my disk. And use archinstall for graphical installing. And there is the point of boot loader. There I can choose GRUB as a boot loader instead systemd-boot. If I choose GRUB it will be more be easily to do shim 3.2.2? For example, I can not to rename of my boot loader or not?

Hi, I can't comment on "archinstall". My general advice is to edit partitions before or after doing an install, not during the install, by e.g. using parted from command line or by using a GUI, e.g. GParted. IIUC 66,9G are available on /dev/sda7 for an initial install. Do the initial install and when you are done, then delete the Debian partition. If you resize or move /dev/sda7 and the beginning of the partition does move, you need to reinstall the bootloader. Regards, Ralf

Is this the output of "sudo fdisk -l"? Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 616447 614400 300M Windows recovery environment /dev/sda2 616448 821247 204800 100M EFI System /dev/sda3 821248 1083391 262144 128M Microsoft reserved /dev/sda4 1083392 362373119 361289728 172,3G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda5 362373120 812933119 450560000 214,8G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda6 812933120 836370431 23437312 11,2G Linux swap /dev/sda7 836370432 976771071 140400640 66,9G Linux filesystem There should be an additional Linux filesystem? The size should be > 465G?
