Why each option
To delete a partition on a Windows Server using the command line, the `diskpart.exe` utility is the appropriate tool.
`diskmgmt.msc` is the Disk Management graphical user interface (GUI) tool, not a command-line interface (CLI) tool.
`diskpart.exe` is a powerful command-line utility in Windows that allows administrators to manage disks, partitions, and volumes, including the creation, deletion, and formatting of partitions. It provides comprehensive control over disk configuration.
`bootcfg.exe` is a command-line utility used to configure and troubleshoot boot options in the `boot.ini` file on older Windows versions, not for managing disk partitions.
`chkdsk.exe` is a command-line utility used to check and repair file system errors on a disk, not to delete partitions.
