To delete a partition on Windows 8
Like Windows 7, Windows 8 built-in Disk Management has ability to delete volume. You can delete partitions on Windows 8 using its own Disk Management.

Under Disk Management, you can right click the volume and select delete volume to delete any partitions you like (not including system partition).
Windows 8 partition software
Windows 8 built-in Disk Management has many limitations. It can't delete system partition, it can only extend volume when there is some unallocated space behind it, otherwise, the "Extend Volume" option is not available. Because Windows 8 built-in Disk Management doesn't provide "Move partiton" feature, so you have to seek Windows 8 partition magic alternative.
