unistalling zorin os

Hello,
I decided to give a shot again to zorin after a few years. Unfortunately this time installing it was a real pain. I had to boot the system many times from the DVD till it worked, but after the installation process I have noticed so many problems in the OS. I is very slow (win 10 is way much faster :shock: ) So I am deciding to uninstall it.
I have installed it in the same partition with windows. I did try to install in an other partition I created before but for some reason it didn't work
So from the installation process I've chosen the first option, at the same partition, but by shrinking a part of it for zorin.
I tried to use os unistaller from the live dvd boot but I'm afraid when it says that it will format the partition where zorin is, I don't want windows to be formated....
What should I do?

Thank you

press ctrl + t or look from the menu for Terminal. Then type in
Code:
lsblk
and hit enter.
