delpart - tell the kernel to forget about a partition

delpart device partition

delpart asks the Linux kernel to forget about the specified partition (a number) on the specified device. The command is a simple wrapper around the “del partition” ioctl.

This command doesn’t manipulate partitions on a block device.
