If you delete all partitions & reformat with 1 partition, it should give you close to the entire drive for use on C:.

Oh I assumed you wanted to start fresh, my bad. It may be possible to delete through fdisk utility without losing the data on the C drive. However I don't think you will gain that partition back for your main C drive as it was not originally formatted for that extra space.
