Hi all,

Can someone tell me is it safe to delete the "host" file (see the attached image) which contain those Program Files in Windows OS (Wndows 10)?
I want to uninstall Windows OS from my PC so I think I don't need those files.
Will I still be able to boot up Deepin after deleting that file?
And please teach me how to make my System Disk (Deepin) to have a larger size (more than 10).

Thanks and sorry for asking silly questions because I am really a newbie for Linux as well as Deepin.

I'm not sure if host is really from Windows or if it belongs to Linux so it would be safer to let it there.
Removing Windows 10 will be the best decision you've ever made and it's really easy and for Deepin nothing will change,it will still work as before.
With Gparted you can easily make the Linux partition larger after you removed the Windows partition to free the space.
Deleting Windows can be done in Gparted,too,so you don't have to use that bad OS one second more ;)
