May 12, 2015 8:06 AM in response to 1794by BobTheFisherman,If you format a partition all data including the operating system will be removed.
You must use Boot Camp Assistant to remove and format your Boot Camp partition. Doing otherwise will cause you problems with your disk and existing partitions.

Modify the Windows partition
Remove the partition, change its size, or change its name.
Remove the partition
Use Boot Camp Assistant to safely remove Windows and the Windows partition from your Mac, restoring your startup drive to a single Mac partition. You may want to back up your information first, because removing the partition erases all of the data it contains.
- Open Boot Camp Assistant.
- Select “Remove Windows 7 or later version," then click Continue.
- Do one of the following:
- If your Mac has a single internal disk, click Restore.
- If your Mac has multiple internal disks, select the Windows disk, select “Restore disk to a single OS X partition,” then click Continue.
Change the size of the partition
It's not possible to change the size of the partition after installing Windows, but you can remove the partition and create a new partition of the correct size. Don't try to resize your partition with Windows or a third-party app.
