I downloaded OpenSuse 11.1 onto my hard drive using Unetbootin but I’ve decided I want to remove it and try a different distribution. I thought I could take it off by uninstalling unetbootin because this worked with previous installs but for some reason OpenSuse remains on my hard drive and I can’t install any other Linux version now. How do I get OpenSuse off of my hard drive?

Thank you!
