I think there are ways of deleting the partitions using certain software, not sure how though.

The only way I know how to do it you would have to delete all partitions and re-install windows.

Alternatively you could just open up My Computer and select a drive without windows on it, right-click and select "Format" and wipe that drive clean, therefore giving you space to store stuff.
Thats what I would do.

Someone may be able to help you with deleting partitions though.
