  • Use Easeus partition manager, or partition wizard. You boot into them

Because the partition F: is marked as System Partition which I think is your current Windows-7 installation drive. You can not remove a partition while its in use, in this case your Windows is running and all critical system files are in use. You can either use some Live bootable Media or Windows Installation drive to delete and create partitions.
