If I just wipe the partition that Ubuntu is currently installed on, would that work? then just re install it onto the partition. Or is there some other process?

Simply fire up a live usb and when you get to the set up screen just choose to delete current Ubuntu version and install your current version.



No need to go wiping out partitions unless you want to change the size of your ubuntu partitions



Hope this helps
